Re: Graduated Filters

[Ellis Vener <evphoto@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the Sinar 100m wide optical resin filters and holder. Since Sinar
has gotten out of the filter business my recommendation is that you try
Hitech or Lee optical Resin filters. All three systems are remarkable
alike as they are based on the same set of patent. The graduated filters
are 100 x 125mm. I wouldn't go near  Cokin filters, especially the
"Graduated gray filter" as it is not truly neutral, just cheap and
nasty. With my 6x17cm V-Pan and a 90 mm & 150 mm lens, I find I use the
2 stop ND grad filter the most. Hitech is distributed in the US by
Visual Departures: http://www.visualdepartures.com

p.s. All this is assuming you are not asking about a center weighted
filter for evening out the exposure from center to edge of the frame.
