P3D re: shooting lights

[vmacek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Vincent G. Macek)]

Thanks to John Baird for his input on filters and exposure compensations -
I got myself set up for shooting tungsten lights at last.  Yee haw!  Bought
a 80A filter gel and cut it to fit in a 7p slip-in slide mount (first
cutting a hole for the third-eye Realist viewfinder), then used stickyback
velcro to mount it to the front (I can afford to do this, since it's in
such butt-ugly cosmetic shape already!)  With it on I can still adjust the
aperture, and shooting lights generally dictates time exposures, so it's a
snap to use.

I'll no doubt use a RBT mount for something more durable later on, but
this'll do just fine for my holiday needs...It's a wonderful life!
