    Re: Intro to Lee (or others) cut filtration?

    cokin make some 100mm ND grad filters in glass which are much cheaper. But you would need to check that thickness is right for your holder/hood system.

    Re: Intro to Lee (or others) cut filtration?

    The only issue I have with the polyester filters is that are very easy to damage if care is not taken with them. They are much softer material than the resin filters. But providing you aren't one of...

    Re: Intro to Lee (or others) cut filtration?

    I don't think anyone makes polyester grads so how you know that they affect the end result quality is a moot point. Especially since you never used a polyester or resin one.

  26. Re: Help me chase down the many, many light leaks I just found!

    I think there is definitely some light leak along the bottom of image which has nothing to do with specular flare. The flare is just being exagerated by the light leak fogging IMO.
  27. Re: Help me chase down the many, many light leaks I just found!

    Just be careful when you come out of the closet.:D
  28. Re: Help me chase down the many, many light leaks I just found!

    I think there is some specular flare too but have ignored that as it's not a light leak problem and I don't think OP is asking about that but I could be wrong
  29. Re: Help me chase down the many, many light leaks I just found!

    I would suggest the film holders are not seated fully in the camera back or more likely the camera back seals (black velvet on some cameras) are worn out/flattened so aren't giving a proper light...
