Which manufacturer should I buy? Hoya, B+W, Tiffen? Tiffen are the least expensive but are they as good as Hoya?

I think that depends on what you want to spend. The B+W one is 5 stop range (exposure time factor 32) and probably has the best glass and coatings but I'd hazard a guess it's the most expensive by far.

I've look on B&H Photo Video in New York and they don't have a 5 stops but a 6 stops B+W 67mm 1.8 ND MRC 106M Filter. The price is 120$ US which is not too bad but the filter factor is not mentioned. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...d_Neutral.html

If its 6 stops the time factor is 64 at max setting 1 stop = 2 2 stop = 4 3 stop = 8 etc I was looking at this one http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/en...ters/nd-vario/ |

No-one mentioned Lee Filters.
http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/camera They are primarily square optical flats to be used in a frame. I found Lee Filters to be very helpful with difficult technical issues. |

I use Lee but I think he's looking for a screw on variable ND filter

Yes of course. I think its just marketed as digital because most cameras are digital these days and film or digital they are both sensitive to the visible spectrum.
