P3D Cokin filters
In digest 3551, Bob Maxey writes, in part:
<< Cokin are common plastics available from any well
stocked plastics supplier. As far as filter holders, you can always rig
something up. >>
Granted the stereo/3d community has a reputation for "rigging things up" but
I suspect that, with my limited skill level & technology, the waste involved
in making my own polarising, cross screen or graduated filters would greatly
outweigh the cost of a commercial purchase.
It does seem a bit wasteful to buy a 7" tall filter to utilise less than two
inches of its height. On the other hand, a 5" diameter polariser would cover
both lenses and the viewfinder of my Kodak quite convieniently....
