If you shot chromes you must use a center filter.

To be fair, there are certain scenes where you can get away without a CF with chrome film, but really it's best to have the option either way.

Thanks,

Unfortunately Haida no longer make ND Center filters, which Ari can confirm as he contacted the company for me yesterday.

You´re right Dave, and this image is a good sample. Taken with a Sinar F1 and a Sinar Zoom film holder in 6x7 cm format with an Apo Grandagon N 35/4,5. The sky was too light to be reproduced naturally, and the 2,5 stops lens fall off was of great help. Film was Provia 100F. [ATTACH=CONFIG]151967
