Shannon:
Fred Picker once suggested mounting 3"x3" or 4"x4" gel or polyester
filters in a cardboard frame and holding them in front of the lens at
the time of exposure. That is what I do. It is simple in use,
relatively inexpensive, and does not affect picture quality as the
filters are very thin. The mounted filters I store in a stiff cardboard
folder and that keeps them clean. Minor dust can be simply blown off.
Cheers, - Andrew.

Subject: [pure-silver] filters for view cameras
Hi, I am thinking of getting some sort of filter system for my view
cameras. I looked online at some places like B and H, and I was sort of
overwhelmed by the choices. Is it better to buy the screwmount kind, or
the Lee system that attaches to just about any lens, apparently using a
rubber band, and comes with four or five filters?
The latter seems more affordable in the long run. Just wondering if
other people have used this system and like it. I have three lenses,
two for the 4x5 and one for the 8x10, and ideally this Lee filter set
and holder would work for all three lenses, and maybe even on medium
format cameras.
