Hi Rick,
I'm considering a 9 or 10 stop filter and though do prefer the convenience of the screw on type, may go for the Lee Big Stopper.
Thus placing the camera in a set WB mode (cloud, sunlight, tungsten etc) may remedy the issue?
Now that time has passed, how do you view the Lee Big Stopper and why did you choose it over the other higher end filters?
There is one of these available on Camera Market at the moment (not mine... I just saw this thread and remembered that I saw it)

Yes re white balance. I tend to set mine for the scene (if its cloudy, I use cloudy), and then tweak it in PP if needed. I rarely see the magenta cast anyway. We did surmise at the time this was discussed that it seemed that Canon camera's were more susceptible, so maybe shooting Nikon is an advantage after all.
I really enjoy shooting with the big stopper. But I also like shooting without it too. It creates drama to a shot, with long swept clouds, and silky smooth water. Sometimes though the waves etc are what I want to get. Why I chose the Lee was that at the time it was available, and Lee have a good reputation, and that it fits in my Cokin Z-Pro holder.

Maybe someone can help me out, I use the Cokin Z Pro filter holder, but I can't work out whether I need the Hitech 1.5mm or the 3mm gasket big stopper (or did I miss it when I read through the pages here) Hitech's website only tells you which size for Lee or Hitech holders.
Thanks...Jo

The answer is ... 1.5mm gasket
for anyone else that may need to know
My Hitech ten-stop ND filter arrived today.
It's nice and dark!
Looking forward to using it this weekend.

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
does it fit the Lee filter holder too?
Answered my own question - see the good review.
Silkdiver, this answers your question too re Cokin.
