Don't have one but is probably on my very long to-buy list, along with mega-DSLR and ultra-bright lenses 
Supposed to help reduce the amount of light coming into the lens which can be useful in a few situations - such as on a sunny day when you want a slow shutter speed (e.g. making water blur in a river)

and slower shutter speed than the conditions dictate let you shoot blur running waterfalls on a bright day

I was at the library studying, then it just *magically* happened that I was sitting at the same row as the photography books.
So I went to have a look, and started reading a book on filters
Does using coloured filters still apply to digital photography? LIke, a yellow filter so you can see the sky? It was an interesting book! After the first few chapters I just flipped through the rest because I had to get back to study.
I think the X400 would be good for really long exposures,
as the page says, its for solar eclipses! oo
" It can also be used to achieve super slow shutter speeds in daylight to render moving subjects invisible.." I saw an example of this in the book today, very cool! one shot they showed how it look with fast shutter speed, then the next was a long exposure with ND filter, and the once busy intersection now looked like a ghost-town.
