  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

There are no ND 2.7 that i know.

I guess the filter sizes sold for industrial applications are too small (50 mm) but they come in densities at least up to OD 3.0 (ND 3.0) which is 10 stops down.

These are cut from larger sheets of glass so I bet they could do a custom size for you if the price was right.

B+W used to make ND 3.0 and ND 4.0 but apparently they ceased production of those types in April 2006. http://www.2filter.com/prices/products/bwnd.html
 
Both ends of the film camera spectrum offer behind the lens filters. Panavisions have gel holders near the film plain, so do Bolex's made after the mid 50's. It's certainly nothing new in the film world.

I think Red thought through it and decided not to, for simplicity (and thus robustness).

Why did you edit? It makes Macgregor's response to you now sound like a crazy man in an outhouse.

Onto the footy, thanks Mac. Can't wait to see the final product.

That was not my intent. It's just when it was pointed out to me that quite a few film cameras had had this feature, I wanted to soften my position.

I don't appreciate you or babubu saying such things. Good night, lest I be tempted to respond in kind.

I think Finner was just playing off of babubu's wacky comment. I wouldn't take it personally.

Hey jbeale,
Wanna e-mail Edmund Optics and see if they can help us out?
 
Just to show there's always someone who doesn't get it, my wife walked by and I said, "Hey Honey, come take a look at this clip". She watched (the second clip) and said, "That's pretty. Are they in the snow? Why is the Hummer sliding to the left?"
 
Nice clip and pictures. Looks like your cam op is getting seriously burned out there. Who ever is taking the BTS pictures has a good eye for framing.

I sent off an email asking if they could do a ND filter in the 4" square size. I know there are some matte boxes that use 5" or larger. The ND 2.5 filter is 2.5 mm thick and the ND 3.0 is 3 mm thick, I don't know if that presents any problem.

LOL!

but with such a plain white background it's easy to look at it that way too.

Oh great.. please let us know what they say. I think 5" would be preferred, but I'll take either at ND 2.5!
I believe cinema filters are generally 4mm thick, so I don't see why these wouldn't work.

320 ISO in this environement is crazy. I am using two ND filters (1,2 + 0.9) and still i have too much light. It is insane.

You can shoot at 100 ISO as well you know.....

So far from what we've heard, Red has no selectable analog gain (or attenuation). Yes, you can rate the sensor for ISO 100 but you expose any normal scene that way at your peril. You probably would see quite a bit of clipping if there's any white clothing in the sun, salt flats, and stuff like that in the frame :-)
