wparsonsgisnet Posted December 29, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got my last filter, at 60mm B+W 486, in the thin mount, from Adorama. I wondered what the deal would be without the outside screw fitting, but it comes with a push-on cap in black plastic-composite that I really like. It's smaller and lighter (it IS just a cap, tho) and easier to work with than the snap-in lens caps. Because it's so thin itself, it fits in the pocket very nicely. So, I've got all my filters, now: 24, 35/1.4 asph, 50/1.4 asph, and 75/1.4. I find that I can fit all this stuff in the small shoulder bag from Eagle Creek that was so praised in a "bag" thread on the old Forum. It looks like nothing -- really important to me -- and has 2 full-size zipper pouches and a bunch of pockets. Here's a shot of the skinny filter and the cap, with the 75 'Lux, taken with the 50 'Lux at 5.6, iso 2500, hand-held at 1/24, closest focusing distance (center of cap in focus), reduced in size from the raw to a jpg and white balance, nothing else.

jcbjr Posted December 29, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2006 glad you got the filter, bill. nice that the market for them seems to be loosening up- i just got a notice that one 55mm i had on backordered from b&h shipped yesterday. they still show out of stock on many sizes, but at least they're getting stock to satisfy backorders. john Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model number or name possibly? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted December 29, 2006 Howard, it's an Eagle Creek bag but has no other info on it. I just went to the old forum to see if I could search for the "bag" thread, but I can't seem to do a search there. I also went to the Eagle Creek site and did an Eagle Creek search, but this bag is not a current model. Sorry about that. I bought it early this year and it has been hanging in my closet because the D2 was a bigger camera than the M8. I just hauled it out for a trial and it fits the M8 and lenses ok. This bag looks quite similar Sumdex Luggage - Decode Boston Series Horizontal Travel Accessory Case DBN215 - Luggage Online and is pretty cheap. This one also looks handy Amazon.com: Heavyweight Classic Canvas Messenger and Travel Bag - More Colors!: Apparel I think I have 4 bags of diffenent sizes -- and use a backpack a lot. Whatever doesn't look like anything. That's the trick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted December 29, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2006 Gosh, Bill! I didn't intend for you to do my research for me. Thanks for the links. I always feel a new camera needs its own new bag, even when that leaves my older bags empty. Thanks again! --HC Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_big Posted December 29, 2006 Share #6 Posted December 29, 2006 Tony Rose is getting a shipment of B+W 39mm and 46mm IR cut filters today. I picked up one each to go along with the free ones I'm getting from Leica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atufte Posted December 30, 2006 Share #7 Posted December 30, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tony Rose is getting a shipment of B+W 39mm and 46mm IR cut filters today. I picked up one each to go along with the free ones I'm getting from Leica. Just bought a B+W IR/CUT E39 from them this minute, their still in stock (39/46/55) but they "are going fast", so be quick folks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks for the links. I always feel a new camera needs its own new bag, even when that leaves my older bags empty.--HC Howard, regards. When I realized I had posted for something no one could get I felt like a real doofus. I am thinking about bags and I think if I designed one it wouldn't be right. How can this be so hard? My New Year's resolution is to find the perfect all-round camera bag, wide lenses that go to 1.4, software that processes my diginegs in batch by recognizing the degree of processing they need, a printer that turns the image when I forget to do so, and a room full of people to tell me how good the prints are. Happy New Year to all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
