To Center Filter or not to Center Filter...that is the question;)

[Brian Ellis]

The shortest lens I've owned was an 80mm SS XL. The next shortest was a 90mm SA. I've never used a center filter.

Your images are rediculous...simply delicious. What do you use to scan them onto the site and in general, how are they scanned? Very gorgeous stuff.

Thanks to you and others so far. I hope this thread spins along in an interesting way.

So from the three of you, with E6, I seem to gather:

110mm and lower needs a CF
75mm and higher no or not necessarily a need for a CF

Many thanks for your kind words. All the images on my website are taken directly from my final print master files, which I work up from drum scans made by Bob Cornelis at Color Folio in Sebastopol, CA. He's a real genius when it comes to making great scans.

Thanks for all the great comments so far.

Justin, Sebastopol is a very nice area, but if you get out to Occidental, I think you might find it much more peaceful in spite there are areas heading out towards Occidental that is still considered Sebastopol that are very beautiful. Take the drive from Occidental town some day and take some shots off that road...and then up the coast headed north. This rugged, but awesome for sports car fantatics (watch out for cyclists) road from Occidental to the coast is truly beautiful and scenic.

Yeah...those shots are spectacular really! I was thinking they had to have been scanned in by something more sophisticated.

Cheers!
