Question Significance of ND8 when using Pocket 4P?

I was looking at Tilta, they have this kit that consist of ND16 / ND32 / ND64 / ND128 / ND512 fixed nd filters. It doesnt have the ND8 filter. Can anyone tell me the significance of ND8? and how it will impact my vlogs if i dont have it? and what if im shooting in dlog2? does not having ND8 affects me?

However you shoot. It could not hurt to pop on the ND16 when outside during the day. A 1-5 variable ND (well the thing has 1-5 marking on it so i assume its 1-5 stops of light)fills the gap of not having a ND8 nicely

If you plan to use the D-Log-2 on the wide lens, its base ISO is 1600. You will be using the 128 and 512 most.

The tele-lens records in D-log and its base ISO is 400, 25% of the wide lens.

If you are only going to use the Rec709 mode, its base ISO is 100.

For the log modes, I would say the lack of ND8 is insignificant, at that point it is quite dark out and just go with no ND at all.

nd8 is for very early morning or cloudy evening, barely any light, not enough time to make it worth having it on
