screw in filters for RPPs

[Frank Weeks]

I want to purchase some 105mm screw-in ND and pola filters for the RPPs. Occasionally I need a light weight package. I have not had great luck finding these and thought Id throw this question out to the masses. Any suggestions? Keep in mind that these would be seldom used so keeping the price within reason would be nice.

PS I know the 300mm is not the same size. My understanding is the 18mm thru 100mm are the same.

B+W MRC, available from B&H, works great.

Thanks Shawn. I was hoping for a budget line but at this level that rarely occurs.
BTW, nice meeting you and your wife at NAB. Sorry I missed the after party. Sounded like a good one.

Another, less spoken about, option is to cut gel filters (such as the Kodak gels used with Panavision cameras) down and snot tape them to the rear element of the lens...

Works well... No glass to carry around or worry about and it is the lightest weight option period. Also the cheapest perhaps? (I'm unsure of price as I got mine free from the last show I worked. Call the Panastore and ask for Kodak gels.)

BTW, the 300 takes rear filters you slide in... No need to filter front element...
