Modern flash units are worlds more powerful than what I had back when
I used flash a lot, and cover a lot of the need for this kind of stuff.

But the ND filter effectively reduces the stop in terms of how much
flash you can lay in the shot. In daylight and with no walls or
ceiling to reflect some of the spill light back, it's hard enough
to get a useful amount of fill. High speed synch is important for
anyone who shoots outdoor portraits, birds, insect macro, etc.

Quite frequently, both fill flash and a large aperture are

Or an ND filter... :-)
Seriously, I do understand about fill flash etc, but 1/180 sec
seems quite fast enough for my needs. I remember when no SLR did
better than 1/60 second max, and "high speed sync" didn't exist.
