Nice shot. Do you use a center filter and ever use other filters with this 90mm f4.5 lens? How do you deal with it's large size? (I have the same lens and have a center filter but no other filters for it.)

Did you ever use your center filter? I still need one for my 75mm and my 90mm

A photo I made yesterday at Amicalola Falls State Park. Speed Graphic 4x5, 6" Aero-Ektar, on Velvia 50. I used some front tilt to force the focus plane somewhat up the creek to the lit up area behind - the lens has no aperture and is always at f/2.5.

Nice. I got hundreds of sheets to develop. Got behind with building our home over the last couple of years.

Yes, I use the CF with my 90mm Nikkor f4.5. Problem is the CF is 105mm where you need to put additional filters. So, I haven't bought any yet. If I need a filter, I shoot with my 75mm but it doesn't have a CF. Nothing's simple with LF photography.

The Rodenstock center ND for the Grandagon-N 4.5/90 is even larger, with a 112mm outer thread. I therefore never use additional filters with it. Doing so would require the 150mm Lee filters, and their XXL filter holder. That or blu tack/sellotape the filters in place onto the center ND; hardly elegant or reliable.

Thank you, Alan. I dont use center filter with 90mm lenses on 4x5 cameras. The vignette is small enough to ignore it on the slide. And it is easily corrected on print or in Photoshop on the bnw negative.
