Advertisement Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Hi jc_braconi, Take a look here Fiopy. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted April 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Well, a good find... : I suspect those filters aren't so common around... and with its original little red box ! ( I have been always astonished by the quality of that boxes... I have some from the 30's, so old and used that the "gold" writing is faded in a light yellow... but, incredibly the folding opening is never broken) Edited April 29, 2015 by luigi bertolotti 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 4, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 4, 2015 I love these special filters. Here is FIRAD, yellow gradient. Rather unpractical in use, I should think. Welcome, dear visitor!

gyoung Posted May 12, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 12, 2015 Upside down to lighten green foliage without affecting the sky? I had no idea there were grad filters before Cokin Never owned even one... Gerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 12, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 12, 2015 Yes, that occurred to me as well, a kind of inverted red gradient, possibly... However, the green side is marked "oben" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted May 13, 2015 Share #11 Posted May 13, 2015 It would work that way up if you had tree covered slopes leading up from a river or lake in the foreground. A sort of Black Forest filter... Gerry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seekwhence Posted May 15, 2015 Share #14 Posted May 15, 2015 Hello I have been searching for all of the pre-1945 filters for my lenses. It has been very difficult trying to complete the collection because I want not only the filters but the original red/brown boxes that held them as well. I have made up a spreadsheet of what I am looking for which is shown below. Those cells that are filled in blue, are filters and boxes I have been lucky to acquire. The clear cells show filters I still hope to find. If anyone in this forum has any of the filters I am looking for or knows where they can be found (outside of ebay), please let me know! Thanks in advance... Dave (seekwhence) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
