BLARP?!
I've capitalized on Ritz/Wolf Camera's economic hardship and bought a Cokin P-Series filter-holder ring for my 30mm lens (58mm ring) and filter-holder. I've searched around for neutral density filters and came up dry- everybody's sold out.
So my questions are (and I should have asked this before purchasing, but you all know about impulse buying when you walk into a closeout sale in a camera store, right?) is the P-Series filter-holder wide enough for all three XPan lenses? When set for panoramic, will the frame capture the edges of the filters and the filter-holder arms?
Obviously I haven't taken any shots with it yet, or I wouldn't be asking.
I still need to find a 49mm lens ring for my 90 & 45mm lenses. Everybody was sold out of that, too.
Anyway, I hope it works once I try it out. I know the A-Series wouldn't have worked at all.
If you have any ideas about where to find cheap filters for this, let me know. Which filters do all of you find that you use the most (and for which type of scenes)?
I know I want the graduated ND filters because I want to make photographs of winter scenes and reflective surfaces like granite landscapes. I might be taking more shots of sunsets, but I don't know that I really need sunset filters. I don't want an artifical feeling from my photos. They seem to have a filter for everything imaginable. I am currently not taking black and white photos, but at some point I will, and I know that a red filter would be good for that. Others too?
Are there any filters that are used for night photography? I doubt it, but thought I'd ask. I really love night photography, and wish my XPan would go for longer than 9 minutes. I'd love to take a celestial landscape scene for hours at a time in pano format.
