ND Filter Comparison

[MRPUGH52]

Hi folks
thought I would post this comparison between ND filters I have for my P3P.
All other camera settings were identical, and the images uploaded are a snapshot taken from 4K video.
One image uses an SRP ND8 CP filter which is a push-fit type, the other uses a drop-in ND16 filter, inserted behind the front UV filter.

There are clear differences - so I would value your opinion.

thanks
Martin

Which example is which?

Which example is which?

I left that out purposefully - to see what the opinion was on the contrast and colours thrown up by the filters. I will specify which is which later.

cheers

ND16 is darker and it has some color shift, as gel/plastic type filters are known to do. In this case, things are looking orange/red (around garage door/rocks.)

SRP ND8 is not strong enough for these conditions and doesn't look that great.

Is glass better than gel? I have an nd 8 gel one.

One problem I have with this comparison is that there is definitely a big difference in the time of the day. (Shadow cast). Can you make another comparison that is closer in time?
