I am looking for center filter recommendations for use with a Nikkor SW 90/8 (to be used mainly with 617 format, sometimes 4x5) and a Rodenstock Grandagon N 75/4.5 (used for both 4x5 and 617). I primarily shoot transparency film.
My dilemma is whether to choose the Schneider #3 or #3b center filter for this application. Schneider lists the #3 filter for use with the 65/5.6 and 75/5.6 SA and the #3b is listed for use with the 58/5.6, 80/4.5 and 110/5.6 XL lenses as well as the 90/8 SA lens. Is there much of a difference between these two filters? I will probably go with the #3b unless the experience of others directs me to the #3. Your thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
