    Grad ND Filters - Soft or Hard Edge ?

    I second on Singh Ray.

    And, if you're only going to one to start with (soft or hard), go with the hard first (3 stops) and get soft later. However, this is a general statement, as you might be...

    True, I thought about that.

    Can you mount this on a 4X4 lensboard? Someone told me that I could, but it sounds a bit too big to do that. What's the diameter of the barrel?

  24. 65mm vs. 75mm, angle of coverage actual/phsycological

  25. 65mm vs. 75mm, angle of coverage actual/phsycological

    My apologies. I meant to say angle of view.

    Thanks, Eric. That's what I was trying to get at. Also, I'd love to have the 58 XL, but for now I'll just have to drool.

  26. 65mm vs. 75mm, angle of coverage actual/phsycological

    Using a digital camera to test exposure

    Thanks, Bill.

    I also use split ND filters a fair amount, so I'm guessing that Polaroid would be a better choice in this instance, as I'd have proof, right away, that I balanced the exposure on...
