How long is too long?? (bulb exposures on K20D)
Well I'm not sure. I had condensation all over the place, the camera body, the lens, the filter, even the cable release! The filter and the cable release were by far the wettest. Condensation would normally only form if you took a cold object into a warmer environment, water vapour in the air co...

Helicon Filter news
Just a quick heads up that v4.93.2 is now being offered for free with the imminent arrival of v5 which also can be currently download as a beta. Worth a try, I certainly find it a nice little Photo Editing package.

Cokin Z Pro and Lee Filters
I got a whole pile of P Series filter holders, lens hoods and loads of rings from 49 to 72mm in a bag of 'assorted cameras and stuff' from a junk shop last week, so I've been looking for a selection of filters as well. I've had stuff from 7dayshop.com before now, and I see they have a fairly good...

Cokin Z Pro and Lee Filters
It's not a silly question ;) When you use the Z-Pro 100mm graduated filters on a smaller lens mount, and especially with narrower angle of view (i.e. telephoto) then you pretty much lose the benefit of a graduated filter! It's useful in that you can control how much ND there is by sliding the ...

nd filters
James, I have used Cokin filters for 3 decades and love them. The P and PZ that you refer to are filter sizes not grades of filtering. The P is for objective lenses from 58mm to about 85mm if memory serves me right. This is what I use on my lenses that have 77mm filters. I also use them on smaller ...

nd filters
If I understand the PZ you're talking about is the Z-pro? I've the Z-pro and bought it as a GND kit with 3 GND of different strengths. I could get it for a very good price. Also since it's a PRO series it use higher grade filters then the P, the Pro has hardly any colour cast. The 100mm is more s...

Formatt can be found at - I've had a hard and soft grad set of theirs for years and have been very happy with them. They fit the cokin P filter system, or you can buy their own system

Neutral density graduated filter
Can anyone suggest a budget priced NDG filter for landscape photography, and also where to buy from?. I will be using it mainly on a tamron 18-250 lens. I do have a ND filter, but want the graduated version for darkening the sky. Thanks

You can get Cokin ND Grad filters for about £15-20 each I think. They are square and you would require an appropriate filter holder (similar price I think) and then an adaptor so that the whole lot will attach to whatever thread size you have on the front of your lens - am guessing about another £10...

Neutral density graduated filter
I have the Cokin P series but i find that i cannot use it with my 16-50 DA* set to the 16mm end due to the holder being visible in the shot. If i had gone for the larger Z series this would not have been a problem plus i would have greater control over the amount of grad in the shot. So take care wh...

Cheap ND grads may not be neutral at all. Some have a distinct magenta hue to them. This may not be a problem for sunsets but it is a pain for other skies. I learned this from personal experience.

That's indeed true the Cokin P series is a bit purple. The Cokin Z-pro is a lot better but also more e...

Neutral density graduated filter
Amateur Photographer Mag carried out a test on several of the common ND Grad filters and all displayed a colour cast either blue or brown to varying degrees. Wherever possible i take bracketed shots so that i can blend in the darker areas from one of the under exposed images. Though that cannot wor...

I saw the AP test too. Of the budget ones the Koods came out best - very slight green colour cast. Shoot RAW and you can correct this at the conversion stage if it worries you but I haven't really noticed it with mine. What I have noticed is instantly better exposed skies with no need for combining ...

It`s horses for courses! I choose the method i think will best suite the shot. Sometimes there is`nt time to fit a ND or perhaps it`s not worth the bother! I prefer not to put anything in front of my lens unless the benefit outweighs the disadvantage. I have had to remove flare in Photoshop from us...
