Internal ND for Raven by KipperTie

[Christian Kitscha]

I'd possibly be interested in some diffusion options, but I'm sure narrowing down the potential clientele pool even more would be hard to make it worth it for them.

am also interested in diffusions

 

[muhammad]

Awesome. Only if my Raven will just arrive

 

[Trevor Meier]

Looks great! Very interested.

let us know when the preorder is live, im tired of refreshing

 

[Brent G Miller Jr]

Wow!! Genius. Any plans to bring this Scarlet-W/Weapon as well? Also, how about a polarizer?

 

[Edward Saltau]

I'll buy this 100%. I use long lenses for wildlife. Often matteboxes aren't an option. Looks the goods.

So you take the lens of, put in an ND filter in the cartridge and remount the lens?

It's not a bad idea. Maybe useful for those who specifically use very wide lenses with no filter threads. Also useful for consistent filter sizes (but Step rings take care of that)

I though they'd be a way to insert/remove fast without de mounting the lens....

Off topic, but can someone explain why adding the ND affects backfocus?? Does it somehow change the physical distance between the back element of the lens and the sensor?

 

[John Marchant]

Adding a window of glass between lens and target moves the focus by ~1/3 the thickness of the glass. There's a heap more to it than that, but that's the basics

Hey John,

So it's an optical phenomenon, not a physical thing? The glass changes how the light hits the sensor, rather than changing the physical distance between lens and sensor?
