Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with welding glass as an ND filter. I have been reading around online that it seems to be a very cost effective alternative, just wanting peoples opinions on it.
Cheers,
S.

There's been discussion in the past.
From memory, color cast and optical quality (it's usually quite un-flat) were the main issues.
Also, there were a couple of different grades, both in oxy-welding goggles and in arc/mig/tig ones.

Oh, that's not to say it's counted out.
CC, Image editing OK.
An interesting idea
I watched wire melting through those for years (a welder in a past life), it's not going to cost
ya much to have a play, bit of duct tape/bluetack and you're laughing -
Cheers ...
If you replace the 'W' with 'T' in When, Where and What, you get the answer for each question.
CC more than welcome. Remember, I can't be offended so go for it. Feel free to post your ideas with an edit if you have time. Thanks in advance.
