Ever use a ND filter on it to shoot wide open in daylight? I know it's
sacrilege to put glass in front of the Nocti, but from a practical shooter
point of view, shooting at f/1 on a sunny day would be delicious. There are
these adjustable ND filters these days (basically 2 polarizers) and I'm
thinking one might be nice to use for this...
