First post here.

 

I was wondering what people use for filters here? Size, strength, types, brands, etc.

 

I shoot portaits, candids, and street with my m6ttl, summicron 35 asph, 50 rigid, and 90 asph.

 

My choice of film for indoors is tmax 3200 and 400 trix or neopan depending what I am after.

 

I was thinking about getting some ND filters so I could shoot my favorite film tmax 3200 outdoors. ND8? What are your guys experiences and tips?

 

Thanks in advance.

I use a B+W skylight to protect the lens cos I'm a clumsy b****r.

An ND or two would be essential in my opinion if you're a fast film fan.

I use Heliopan -8 and -6 ND filters in the slim mount. Essential for me to keep the aperture in the 'sweet range' when the sun comes out.

 

I would only buy -8 now, as when you need assistance, it's needed in full strength.

I do mostly landscape and when I do use a filter (not that often) I use a yellow to bring out clouds. An orange would probably be better and I'd like to try one, but I'm lazy. Others use a red filter, but they can be overly dramatic for my tastes.

Your lens(es) will determine the size. I have pretty strong ND filters, usually around 3-4 stops. I use the B+W brand for all filters as they are of very high quality and easily obtained. See these reviews: B+W Neutral Density Filters Reviews
