Tag Archives: broken filter

In my previous review of the Big Stopper, I think I touched on the point of as the filter is made of glass, extra care is required with it compared to a resin filter.  Well today my fears came true.  I was out on the beach taking some shots and I had the Big Stopper with me in it’s pouch in my trouser pocket.

I knelt down to get a low angle shot forgetting about the filter in my pocket and I heard a loud crack.  My lovely new Big Stopper was broken in two pieces.  Apart from the fact of the cost to replace it; even if I wanted to there is a 6-8 week waiting list for one from the distributors.

Today has not been a good day…
