I was curious if perhaps any of you could suggest what brand of Gels or special effects filters would fit

my Mamiya matte box. The manual for the piece suggests 3 inch filters. I have numerous Hoyarex 4x4

filters for my 35mm system, but they cannot be used. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Steve. Well I would if I had enough time. I sort of got roped into this and it's been so long since I used any color 120 film, I didn't know what to do. I shot some Velvia 100f over July 4 weekend and was very pleased with colorimitry. However, I did not shoot any people so I wasn't sure about how blue it might shift using a flash as fill. I'll go with Portra for this one as I'd rather not screw up too bad. I shot a test roll today with/without a CTO gel and the lab should have the results tomorrow. I'll give the Provia a shot later on. I got like 30 rolls of Velvia I'll need to burn first.

Thanks for the advice. I'll switch to Portra.

Hi:

 

I am shooting my niece's outdoor wedding next weekend. I am concerned about the nat light as I have

no idea what the conditions, weatherwise, will be. I plan to use my 522 as flash fill regardless. However

my niece is very light skinned so I was considering adding some 3200K from my Lowell DP kit

(diffused) for warmth. Is it ok to mix in tugsten this way? Can Velvia 100F handle the mix? I just recently

got back into using the 645 after a number of years and I do not have any CC filters for my lenses.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
