    Ryan, what's the nature of new Schneider Platinum ND ? Is it mirror based ? Does it suffer from internal reflection like Pancro does ?

    EDIT : found the answer https://www.schneideroptics.com/ecom....aspx?CID=1698

    I wonder if you have test it with Water White Formatt ND filter plus its Formatt IR filter

    Would be interesting to see the result compare to Schneider Platinum ND

    Thanks

    Thanks Ryan.

    Excellent.

    Rivai,

    Unfortunately I do not have the WW Formatt ND plus the IR Filter. If someone wants to send me a set, I'll test it no problem. However, I'm very happy with the Schneider set I'm using so I'm not going to go out and buy another set to use just for testing. :)
