Not bad at all - which filter brand is it?

I used ND16 filter, the filter box is labelled as Banner. But I found that ND16 is not enough for this kind of shots. I had to go up to f22, which is not optimal.

So I plan to get ND1000 from here: Neutral Density ND1000 DSLR Camera Lens Filter 46 49 52 55 58 62 67 72 77 82mm | eBay
This should allow me to increase time while staying on f13 or smaller. I have no illusions about quality of these ND filters, but as I don't use them so often, I can not justify buying the very expensive ND1000 filters from B+W or Hoya.

Nice! I typically don't shoot with zooms but I have always thought of picking up this lens.

I don't mess around with zooms either, as most of my photos are taken with primes. The 80-200 is the exception though. It's a fantastic lens, and as sharp as my primes.
