Hi folks
Apologies if this has already been covered - had a read through the thread but got a bit lost. Seems people are using a particular seller now.
Who are we all buying from ?
What number welding glass is good ?
Which holder ?
From ebay for next to nothing, or £3 from Machine Mart. Any number is fine, they are all very dark, or very very extremely dark.
Just get the adapter ring, and stick the filter straight on it with BluTac, sealing any any light leaks.
What do you mean 'from behind the lens'? Through the viewfinder, or where the glass is in the filter. If the latter, how would I avoid this?
Thanks.
He means from between the filter and the front of the lens.
I got a local glazier to cut mine round and I fitted it into an old screw-in filter. The cut was a bit crude (cost £2 in the Xmas kitty) but I sealed it up with BluTac and it's fine. No light leaks and ten times easier to use than a big sharp square thing.
Don't forget a custom white balance as it's horribly green without, or sort it in post processing. And be certain to cover the viewfinder during the exposue or you will get light leaking in there too.
