Filter and lens shade options for Toyo 45C

[erikj]

I want to get some filters on my new camera. I have a vague idea of what ia available,

but I thought it would be better to ask you all.

 

I have the Proshade for my Hasselblad and I love that thing. It's a little bulky, but it

works like a charm, except I cannot move the graduated filters up and down for

darkening up skies. I would like to get something like that for the Toyo.

 

Thank you again.

Erik, I use the "Hi-Tech" 105mm 4inch filter system. I use one 105mm

polarizer and 4" ND grads with it and am able to adjust the grads both

vertically and rotate them in any position (360deg). I also have 3 metal lens

shades, a wide-angle, normal, and telephoto that screw over the outer

polarizer (or whatever) filter. Hi-Tech also makes "wide-angle" adapters that

prevent any vignetting. If I need any more additional filters I simply screw them

on at the rear of the lens using step-up rings so I only need one set of filters

for all my lenses. Check out this system. You can get some info at B&H Photo

bellows lens shade. It works great. Have fun. Milton Messenger.

Most of the field work/pretty pixs I do I just use B+W screw ins and either

rubber lens shades or metal. They are very conveinent and inexpensive. With

the long grad filters, just pick up either a Cokin P holder or a Lindhal shade.
