Long exposures have intrigued me for a while now.. so I invested to a tripod that might actually be with me at times. I bought a Sirui CF N-1205X with K-10X ball head for a good price. Also got a Haida slim 72mm ND400 filter. The filter was cheap, but seems good for the money spent, 40 Euros. Bit of warm color cast but sharpness seems unaffected, still lots of moire with DFA*50

With two step up rings here´s a shot with DFA28-105 from our balcony:
(@ 80.0 mm, f/25, ISO100, 30s)
I was pleasantly surprised that I could focus in LV just fine with the filter on, even when stacked with my Marumi circular polarizer if I need to.
Just need to clean my sensor now.. it took some time to fix all the spots in this image
