I recently received a B+W 77mm 10 stop ND. It is not a thin mount, but does not vignette my 35mm A. In fact I made some tests: I used my 77mm circ polarizer to darken blue sky, held it firm so it would not turn, then screwed on the 10 stop ND. Even the stacked combintaion did not vignette, probably because of the crop factor. The filter is expensive, but works well.

I think you'll find that B+W 10 stop has a color cast and they advertise it now. A buddy had one and didn't like it. He tried my Hoya NDX400 (~ 9 stops) and liked it better. I've only used it on BW film so I really never noticed if it had a cast or not.

I use the Fader ND from Hong Kong - the variable feature is great for getting the right "look" with water.

You might want to check the sharpness on your Fader ND. Vincent Laforet said it affects video quality on HDSLRs. Video is a measly 1080 lines...

Can you recommend any good online store or eBay sellers that has that Hoya in stock, please?

Search amazon.com for Hoya ND-400 X. I see a 52, 58, 62, 72 and 77mm showing. Your luck you need a 67mm, right?
