A single MULTICOATED ND filter is virtually benign and I would venture to say that you would be hard pressed to see ANY visible difference in the negs unless you wanted to throw in another super rare "what if" like shooting right into a bright light source. So lets review: "If you are shooting at F2.8 or faster in bright sunlight and and shooting into a light source, slower film is better" OK maybe it is then, but for the other 99.999% of the real world photos, it's worse.

As soon as you start putting filters on in one situation but not the other, all other things are no longer equal. -- Cheers, Bob
