Noctilux Filter

Hello All,

I would like to know if there is a cetner graduated filter for the Noctilux? I know part of the charm is that heavy vignetting but I would like to have some non vignetted shots done at F1 using slide film.

 

thanks in advance.

Robert,

 

Have you tried a Neutral Density filter? It will not get rid of the vignetting, but will allow you to shoot wide open in daylight.

 

If you really need a center graduated filter, I recall that some older Schneider Super Angulon lenses for large and medium format had this filter available. Try searching the Schneider / B+W page and also check into Cokin, they make just about anything. For the Cokin filters you will need a special adapter, but it might be worth a try.

 

Good luck,

 

Jan

thanks Jan, yes I plan on getting a ND of about 5 stops or close to that. I have a 9 stop ND but not in 60mm.

 

I really want to try using wide open, full daylight but with less vignetting on slide film and see how these project.

 

I will search out your suggested suppliers.

I found this

"You need to remember that it can not be seen by the film until the lens has been stopped down at least 2 stops."

 

at Filters for large format photography. Any comments

I want a four or five stop ND filter for my Noct but can only seem to readily find 3 stop or 9 stop filters in 60mm. Where should I look?

Schneider have plenty of types, finding them is another issue.
