I have seen shots taken with welders glass on other forums and they have been pretty damned good.

@Mike - Care to share an example? Not of the sun or an eclipse though :) @Kurvz - no waste of time as it seems I am about to have my eyes opened and prejudices adjusted! That said looking through my welders glass its simple diabolical. Mike

Mike you'll get no argument from me. Off the Machine Mart for some welders glass it is then (all mine have splatter on them) except I hate MM and will go elsewhere rather than give them money, they upset me once. Thanks to Kurvz for raising this. Mike

Dont know why you want an ND filter anyway, just wait for a typical english day and set the aperture to f32, take a flask and sandwiches though:D:D:D

Have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick on welders glass. This is the stuff you use to take out the UV and darken the weld. Usually rectangular and fits in the mask? Pretty thick and strong too. Mike

There's a range of different shades of welding glass, from the very light that's used by people who are working close to gas ( oxy-acetylene) welders right through to very dark used by the welder when arc or MIG welding. The gas welding goggles lens comes in 50mm dia sizes as well. http://www....

Whaddayouknow, the welding glass fits Cokin P Series holders perfectly. Now all I need to do is try it on a very bright sunny day with a very long exposure.

Wow - won't flare be an issue? Only at high amps! :lol: I've got the hood for the Cokin set which I left off for the picture. It's grey and miserable today so it's not looking good for testing. :(

Pentax Reviews in current Which? magazine
Back to the specific review it also has a headline "K-m" heaviest camera on test at 1.24 kg ! When you look at the data in the table it seems to apply to the Olympus E-30. I don't expect Pentax will be too happy with some of these errors because despite how rubbish these reviews may be non-experts a...

Crippled mount?
I can't see why this can't be done. Well it can't and when it is "exposure errors may occur" so there seem to be technical reasons. I did notice someone mention that the metering coupling was non-linear in some designs and linear in later ones, so perhaps that's the problem. It's easier to use A len...

It's easy I would come down and do it for ya BUT it's a bit far Have you put one in your camera James? Any special tools required? I really dislike mucking around inside anything too, due to a large dose of utter cack-handedness, but I have changed focus screens before with no problems (although ad...
