Doug,
Your method sounds OK to me. I would try your method with the 1 % spot mode on my Gossen Starlite, but I loaned the meter to a friend.
Doug Meek remarked that his Lee ND grad filters do not have the advertised light reduction effect.
I tested mine: 0.6 hard, 0.9 soft, and 0.9 hard. I placed them on a trasparency viewer in a dark...
I pretty much keep the center filter for my Super Symmar 80XL on all the time. I use Velvia, and scan the film with an Epson 2450.
Initially, I wanted to avoid using a center filter. I didn't want...
I would try a commercially available emulsion cleaner and wipes, such as PEC-12 cleaner and PEC*Pads.
Adorama has a description of this product on their web site....
Lee Filter USA is now listing a medium-wide lens hood as a new item.

"Minimum lens focal length, to avoid vignetting:...
I find that the standard Lee hood when it is fully collapsed does not vignette when it is attached to a Schneider Super Symmar 80XL lens with a Lee wide-angle adapter ring.
Of course, the hood...
Here's a link to report on tripod and camera vibration, with and without the Markin center plate on a Gitzo 1227 tripod. According to the report, the center plate dampens vibrations better than the...
Bob,
I did not know about the Heliopan rotating brass filter holders. Thanks.
Don, Steve:
My goal is to minimize weight and bulk for backpacking. Thus, I want to be able to get away with using just one filter holder.
I am hoping that a rotating polarizer that fits in a...
Steve,
I did not know that Singh-Ray made such a polarizer. I will call Bob Singh when his company opens again (hurricane season).
My motive for using such a polarizer is to get away with...
I am interested in using a mounted polarizer that can be slid into a Lee filter-holder slot and rotated in place. This is in lieu of rotating the holder itself with a 100 mm square polarizer filter...
I have a SA 58XL, Schneider centerfilter, and Lee filter holder with three slots. As a non-vignetting solution for using it all on a 4x5 camera, I'm having S.K. Grimes make a plastic adaptor to slip...
Thanks for the replies.
From further web searches of commercial web sites, it appears that: -the Tiffen 4x4" resin polarizer is no longer being offered for sale, -no other resin 4x4" polarizers...
Yeah, I have resigned myself to not being able to rotate a square polarizer independently of an ND grad filter. For me, being able to use a hood with the polarizer is more important.
I called...
I have adopted the Lee filter system for my 4x5 camera. I have lens adaptor rings, a filter holder, a hood, and ND-grad and warming filters. My next purchase will be a 4x4" polarizer filter.
Lee...
Two years ago, I purchased my first 4x5 camera. I then purchased the new version of the Kodak Readyload holder, thinking that I would be able to use both Kodak Readyloads and Fuji Quickloads in it....
Thanks for the suggestions, and the joke ;-)

Do any of you who make your own papers know who to remove silver stains from clothes?
Here's yet another approach:
Meter off the darkest object from which you want to capture some detail, and then reduce exposure by 1 1/2 stops.
