Jeff S Posted September 18, 2015 Share #41 Posted September 18, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I didn't do any B&W conversions from these images. I was just so intrigued with the colors in Iceland that it never was a consideration. If you pick an image, I'm happy to give it my best shot and post it here, though. Thanks, David, but not my call....I leave that to the photographer. who is either moved to see in b/w from the outset, or not. Online posting wouldn't demonstrate much anyway, nor would just one pic....that would require a variety of subjects and conditions to draw conclusions, in my experience. Likewise, every picture interpretation, and print workflow, is different. Thanks for the offer, though. The point is that you were impressed with the results given your intent.....all that matters.

Bill W Posted September 18, 2015 Share #42 Posted September 18, 2015 David, If you had to use a polarizer with the Schneider filters, how did you attach it. Do you have an additional attachment on the filter holder. Do you guys sell them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterv Posted September 19, 2015 Share #43 Posted September 19, 2015 David, in your PK'14 article, it is mentioned that S2/006 batteries can be used in the 007. Now I read somewhere (can't find it) this isn't true. Could you please give the definitive answer? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarkas Posted September 19, 2015 Share #44 Posted September 19, 2015 David, in your PK'14 article, it is mentioned that S2/006 batteries can be used in the 007. Now I read somewhere (can't find it) this isn't true. Could you please give the definitive answer? Thanks! This was changed from what was announced at Photokina. They upped the voltage to account for the increased power draw of live view, video and 3.5 fps burst rate. The new battery is backwards compatible, but the old battery will not work in 007. If you try to use one by mistake (or on purpose), the camera won't turn on and a warning message will appear on the rear LCD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an additional attachment on the filter holder. Do you guys sell them? I did use a polarizer on some shots. I use a B+W threaded F-Pro MRC Kassemann, then attach the adapter ring for the 4" holder to the polarizer. So, I've got lens -> polarizer -> adapter ring -> 4" holder -> GND -> IRND (if fully loaded). Make sense? Yes, we carry a full line of B+W filters.

It will probably not work on an extremely wide lens like the 24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted September 19, 2015 Share #47 Posted September 19, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I should have added that the 24 is not an 82mm though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarkas Posted September 19, 2015 Share #48 Posted September 19, 2015 Yes it makes sense. It will probably not work on an extremely wide lens like the 24. Bill, You can use the filter kit on the 24 and 30-90 which are 95mm filter size. The 24mm will vignette with the holder, but still offers a wider field of field than the 30mm when cropped to eliminate the corners. In most cases, I just hold the 4" filter against the bare lens front as this avoids any vignetting. The live view on the S007 is a big help when manually trying to get the grad in place.

Bill W Posted September 19, 2015 Share #49 Posted September 19, 2015 I am about to palce an order for the kit with Grad ND and want to add an ND as well. I know it might be a subjective question but it you were to just carry one ND filter, how many stops would it be, the 4 5 or 6. I will add oyhers later as well as other Grad's. I appreciate all your help here. I tried to PM you but it said you were not accepting any or you inbox might be full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to email me directly at david (at) leicastoremiami (dot) com. To answer your question, 4, 5, or 6 are all good choices. I use a 4 and a 6 for maximum flexibility, giving me 4, 6, or 10 (when stacked) stop options. But, if I had to choose one, 5 or 6. 4 isn't enough in many cases.

peterv Posted September 20, 2015 Share #53 Posted September 20, 2015 Which SD cards are recommended for the 007? The fastest one can get? 32GB or 64GB? Would a SANDISK 64GB EXTREME PRO UHS II SDXC 280MB/s be noticeably faster than a SANDISK 64GB SDXC EXTREME PRO UHS-I U3 95MB/S? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarkas Posted September 20, 2015 Share #54 Posted September 20, 2015 Which SD cards are recommended for the 007? The fastest one can get? 32GB or 64GB? Would a SANDISK 64GB EXTREME PRO UHS II SDXC 280MB/s be noticeably faster than a SANDISK 64GB SDXC EXTREME PRO UHS-I U3 95MB/S? The camera doesn't have the additional contacts for UHS II, so the fastest UHS-I card is going to be the same speed (95MB/s). UHS-II has additional contacts on the bottom of the card. I used 64GB SDXC cards, both Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s and Transcend 600x 90MB/s UHS-I cards. Interestingly, the Transcend didn't play well with 4K video, with the camera telling me the write speed wasn't fast enough. The Sandisk was fine for this. But, when downloading into LR using the built-in SD slot in the rMBP, the Transcend card was significantly faster, at least 30-50% faster than the Sandisk. This made a big difference when shooting several hundred captures per day. Seems Sandisk is tuned to write speed and Transcend is tuned to read speed. In the end, I used the Transcend cards more as I wasn't shooting 4K video and the less time I spent downloading was time I could be sleeping. And that's usually how I look at card speed anyway. I'm not shooting sports. For me, I just want to be able to import images as fast as possible, not clear the buffer 1 second faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lexar Professional SDHC 1 class 10 600x don't work with 4K as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
