Re: Graduated Filters

[IAPPPresident@xxxxxxx]

Ya, sure, Peter, I use graduated filters on that thing a lot.  And boy, oh 
boy, they have really made a difference; several photos in my new book 
involved the Fuji 617 with 2 or 3 stop ND graduated filters.  I use the 
Tiffen Glass ones; they cost about $125 each a few years ago.  They're 
rectangular, so one can slide them up and down without getting the edge of 
the filter in the frame.  This does limit their use when doing verticals, 
though, because the filter only barely fits inside the "roll bar" and so the 
horizon of dark and light is stuck in the center then.  But hey, it works.  
Some of those verticals need a little cropping anyway.  The nice thing about 
glass is that it's a lot harder to scratch than resin is.  Also, these are a 
nice neutral gray compared to some of the green or amber "grey" that I've 
seen on the market.
