Rumor has it this might fit....?

So...more research. Many say a polarizer is critical. In that case, where would I find one that fits the 100mm Z-Pro? I only see Lee makes one for around 300 large ones.
Unless I am better off...
Yes that makes sense. So the overall density is the same. One half is yellow with clear behind it. The other half would be clear with grey behind it or whatnot.
I have a silly question, but I...
I am sorry I am such a mess.
Can someone help me decide a few things, please?
First searching for these things on eBay is a pain (and I'm a youngin'). Search terms are so many options...ND or...
Thanks Alan for all the info. I got a Z-Pro holder for 15 bucks!!! Just looking for filters now on eBay.
Seems like searching for 4x6 at first was hindering the results. Tried 4x5.65 and over 600...
Ugh. I still haven't made up my damn mind. I think I am just going to spring for the Cokin system. One of em...I think P system or Z-Pro (supposedly the holder is much better and stays on/etc.) is...
And I understand there is value to having both. I think I eventually will. What I need to decide on is what system to I dive into for now that will get me by.
That way I can get the holder/step up...
Ahh, thanks. My widest lens is 77mm.
Oh, I guess this is part of the pros/cons. With circular screw on filters you lose the ability to use graduated filters. So for landscape stuff (most of what I will be shooting in NZ) the Cokin setup...
Interesting, doesn't seem as bad as I am thinking. Thanks again for the information.
Maybe I just grab some 77mm filters for now and a step up ring from 67 to 77. Hmm.
Understood. I am set on the system though...well, crap, I think I am. I can't keep changing up since their are so many pros/cons to every system. I have to make a decision and just lock in especially...
Ok, thanks again for the info. Yes, I am fine with resin. I am also fine with middle of the pack quality. Don't need the best made ever nor the walmart line. I don't mind investing a little, but with...
Any additional comments on my above questions? You all use eBay? Seems like Cokin and Lee/HiTech are good. Schneider and Formatt glass? Resin vs glass? Resin I assume is thick plastic?
CP? Color...
Thanks for the information Thomas. Very helpful to know your setup/system.
Thanks for the information, that is very helpful.
Hi all,
I leave in 6 weeks for my honeymoon. I would like to find a set of basic filters for my Chamonix 045N-2 4x5 camera. I think I am toting it and my Leica M2.
I was considering a Cokin Z-Pro...
I need, **want**, to pick up some filters for the 4x5 kit. Thinking about Cokin system.
I guess at a minimum I need orange full, orange grad??, maybe a yellow?, a little ND stop, big ND stop, and a...
Bought These!
Hoping the above work, I have used Ben's before and the stuff is great. Never tried the wipes.
And yes, I wish we had 2-3 months. Maybe when/if I quit work and we are called to...
Thanks all for the advice! Much appreciated.
A man named Youxin Ye repaired my Leica last year after the prism separated.
He mentioned a guy (that speaks little english) who is in the states and could repair my Rollei. He knows and trusts...
Ok, David has me 100% set up, as I am getting a personally written novel from him.
Any advice on cameras/lenses? What lens would you suggest for taking to a place like NZ? We are spending all of...
Friendly bump for any advice. I messaged you David, let me know if it didn't go through.
Thanks!!!
Thanks again for all the advice. I will send you a message/email David!
Hey all!!!!
I didn't see all these recent (sorta recent) replies. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
I had been traveling a ton for work in Sept. and missed a lot of these.
We were pretty decided/leaning toward...
Agreed, 100%. I am fairly confident that I won't bring the 4x5. Probably just the Leica.
She is so kind and patient. And knows I have her in mind, before the photography.
Doesn't mean I cannot...
We would absolutely love Iceland. But, gonna assume end of Jan/early Feb is pretty winter-like.
Hahahaha. Well, in that case...
I know this is a long shot...and not a lot of people have been to either or both. But, you never know, and perhaps some that have traveled around them have input to...
I've been to Peru!!!
And it is pretty spectacular.
Hi all,
Received LOTS of great advice on where to go in CO for popping the big question. Well, it happened at the end of July, and she said yes, so here we are. :)
Any travelers out there have...
@xkaes, yes was able to confirm is it Hallett Peak from Dream Lake. I will probably have to take a shuttle to get to the trailhead.
And I will check out the place you recommended. Thanks!
@Keith...
Update
Tentative Schedule
We land Tuesday (July 18th) at 7AM. We depart Sunday (July 23rd) at 7AM.
Tuesday - land, pick up rental car, then drive toward "Secret Camping Spot Provided via PM". It...
Oh my!!! I can only imagine looking down to realize one heel is completely fallen off!
And yeah, I have a collapsible water container. Not sure how much is in it. But since we will only be camping...
Worst case, we can shower once we get to Denver on Saturday. I am sure we will both survive and just embrace the BO.
The more I think about it, we will be fine. Both of the close campgrounds that have first come first serve...I bet will have spots. Because we are getting there on Thursday. That is a huge advantage...
Looks like absolutely 0 sites available in RMNP.
Both online and after 45 minutes on the phone (I am in the desert of NM for work...got disconnected during the first call).
Also, not being...
Thanks all for the advice. I know there is WAY TOO MUCH to see in a meager 4 days. I think we will try and stay more to the north this time, so we don't spread out too thin.
And I am on hold right...
Thanks everyone for the great advice. I think for the most part my schedule is sort of locked down (need to figure out a few specific sights to make sure we see at each various point in the...
Maybe the first night we stay in Monarch or Gunnison National Forest. Then get up early and do a day visit at Black Canyon of GNP. Then we head and camp near McClure pass for the second night.
Sir, not sure of your name, you are one generous soul!!!
I would always appreciate borrowing stuff, but getting it back to you (either driving in a perfect loop) or flying back with it to then...
