    I’m getting ready to purchase a Sony FS-100. I have used it in low light and got great footage.
    But, I am a bit concerned about the lack of NDs. I live in a VERY sunny state. Any advice on this issue?
    Is it an issue?

    thanks

    Hi Ed,

    Try to get a variable ND filter, this allows you to stop down on light all the way through. We use the Marumi version, just screw it onto the front of the lens and Bob’s your uncle. We use them on all our cameras and are very happy. Watch out for cheap filters, the price may seem good but they generally distort.
