Re: Filtration Experiments

Dem Bell, I tell others who want to test the polarization filter off camera first while holding the filter in front of the computer screen, then rotating the out filter ring to the optimum or darkest setting. mark this setting before mounting the filter on the lens. The only regret I have is that I sold my 35mm cameras back in the 90's or I would have offered an alternative test using the 35mm camera. Now I just need some warmer weather to thoroughly test this tinted filter material.

I'm very excited to see any results and hope this could shed new light on those person wanting to use filters on their cameras without having to worry about rotating any outer rings. Though my design would require the use of a Cokin P type lens mount. Not only am I interested in using one of these tinted filters, I' wondering if multiple filters can be stacked into the Cokin P mount and offer more filtration. I mean holding two or three panels up to the sunlight, I don't see any difference. Again wait around, cause spring is just around the corner. We'll be making a special early morning trip to the Eastern Shore of MD to catch a sunrise just for this purpose.
