Glass ND filters are more robust and tend to have more uniform absorption characteristics. They also attenuate by absorption and so care must be taken to avoid overheating. Gelatine ND filters are low cost but tend to have more fluctuation with wavelength and a narrower wavelength range than glass ND filters and metallic types.
