I'm sorry in advance if this is too much of a derail, but what filter systems do you all use? I only need a 3 stop grad ND, and while I am flexible on the price, I am hell-bent on avoiding color casts. It will be used on a 6x7 camera with a 110 mm lens or longer, not on a wide angle lens. I've used the Singh-Ray grad ND's for years. Pricey, but decent quality. No colour cast that I have noticed... It seems the price of used grad filters has come down as a lot of the digital only folks have gone to image blending in PS, so there's a good chance you'll find something for a decent price. Good luck! Thanks, I'll take a look. Lee Filters are great
I use it with the largest adapter ring (95mm) and a set of step-down rings for different lenses. Am I overly paranoid for insisting on glass filters?
Certainly not. Glass filters are optically superior and have significantly less color cast issues. I would never use a resin filter in front of a lens. Many filters are made from glass composites these days like Gorrilla Glass and there isn’t the risk of breaking them anymore. They aren’t as light as resin, but it’s worth the weight.
