Magnetic Filter Kit

[DumfriesDik]

I 'mistakenly' purchased a screw-on GPL filter, and straight away I realise I would prefer magnetic.

Do you know of a filter kit that utilises a variable ND filter? And any recommendations??

I need the least amount of stuff to carry, my dexterity and wheelchair limit this, in case you were wondering!

can you see my desktop?

just looking for one of those!

 

[DumfriesDik]

Haha! Sorry @Barney I have been looking as well. Kent Faith K&F seem to offer such stuff. I look forward to hearing about what you have found.

I think KASE and NISI sell them too. (I've not used any, just seen them around).

URTH do nice kits but they don't have a magnetic variable ND.

I am looking for a graduated two stop, but I only want top third dark not halfway,

@DumfriesDik Sorry for the slight derail of the thread Richard

 

[DumfriesDik]

No worries @Gav. it all interesting. I didn’t even know you could get a grad filter. Every day is a skool day.

I think the square ones will provide more adjustment and control

 

[Gav.]

They do, circular grads are limiting.

That would be waste of money, images and time

I went with a K&F kit on Amazon which applied a 15% discount.

Depending on your use requirement for the variable ND filter, and particularly considering your disability, you should bear in mind that for a lot ND type stuff you may need a tripod.

As strange as this may sound, I always carry a tripod with me, all the time! It just hooks on to the scooter or lies across my electric front wheel mounts. Hard to describe, but it is always there. Thanks for the heads up though, very thoughtful of you.

isn't there a kit available to convert a threaded to a magnetic? surely thats the best method of getting around this problem as you can utilise your existing?
