Hi all,

I've adquired one of these recently but the filter holder is missing, so I wonder if anybody there knows where could I buy a filter holder for this baby.

thanks in advance,
Kar

Guys,

Which heads are you using?

I assume it's the condenser heads?

You might want to search for a below the lens filter set since it's unlikely that anyone would sell the filter holder without the head.

The filter holder of a 1200 condensor head is quite simple, if you re a bit handy with wood or metal (or even rigid carton), it does not seem to hard to me to make one yourself.

Best,

I agree with Cor, and if you are not comfortable with making one, you can cut the filters to fit on top of the condensor....

does anyone still sell the 12x12cm filters for the filter drawer of the L1200?

No, you have to buy the 15x15 filters and cut them into the right size

Well, i suppose you are thinking about the variable contrast filters made by Ilford (and Paterson i think). They can be bought from any well-assorted dealer.... I live in Denmark, so a link to a local dealer would probably not be usefull to you :)

Hope this helps

Yes, or you can use the original filters:

I would prefer a filterset with ½-steps like the original filterset from Ilford. The set you are referring to is only 6 filters. Ilford is 12. I have the original filters and it was no problem cutting them into the right size. Freestyle also carries the originals

Hope this helps (sorry for my lousy english!)
