Sigma 15mm (gel filters)

[kartracer]

The Sigma 15mm (which I am increasingly interested in) states that it takes gel filters in a holder, rear of the lens. I cannot find any detailed info. on the Sigma site, and wonder if anyone knows what actual filters/products can be used? Can gel filter material be cut to suit?

I have the 14mm version and that's the same - went to the LEE Filters stand at Focus 2011 and they do them....

Think the official name is Lee polyester gelatine filters - might be worth a look

How do you use them (just cut to size)?

Yep, apparently so, just cut to fit. Having never used them I'm not sure just how they'll stack up against front element filters but it's worth a try I suppose

Stacking them against the front element probably isn't worth a try :shake:
Popping into the fitler holder behind the rear element sounds much better

Lee's polyester or Kodak's gels are the popular choices.
