Do I need a contrast or ND lens filter for Verito 18” F4?
Do I need a contrast or ND lens filter for Verito 18” F4? What is the filter size, 115mm? Thanks!
Re: Do I need a contrast or ND Lens Filter for Verito 18” F4?
I've got the same lens and can measure for you, but there might be slight variations in the models. A photo would help to see if they are (for all practical purposes) similar. As far as the filter goes, what are you trying to achieve?

I worked with one in a studio many times without. No problem, even wide open. If you're working outside in the daytime, yep, you'll need an ND filter or a shutter, (do a search for "Galli shutter", which is very practical if you have a shutter speed tester to practice with). A 6x6-inch square filter and holder is the best ND option.

Below is the lens I have. I want to be able to use it at F6 indoor and outdoor with a Packard shutter. The front thread is about 115mm. Thanks!

Yes, a 6x6 ND filter with the holder is best option. I have a Packard shutter box and can achieve 1/25th of a second. Thanks!

Or use two different film speeds.

If you wait til dusk, you get better light and much easier exposure timing outdoors.
