  1. Hi! I am still a big fan of film emulsion. That being said, I am a big fan of digital, too. No need to get into that discussion please. My question is pretty straightforward. What would be the best filter to use on digital (Red Epic Dragon in my case - but it can apply to other cameras, too) to simulate the film halation? (blooming highlights) I have recently shot some 16mm in Times Square and I fell in love all over again with halation and the way film reacts to highlights. Granted, this is 16mm (quickly shot - don't judge) and it halates more than I want. I have shot 35mm and I know halation is less (better controlled) with that format. So, not as much blooming/halation as in these examples, but definitely more than digital, which has none. I know there are several options - satin filter, perleascent, classic soft, and the trusted low contrast and promist/black promist filter versions etc In your experience, what is the best filter to bloom the highlights but leave the rest untouched by a diffusion-like effect? (or maybe just the slightest touch of overall diffusion to help with the film-like effect) Thank you!
  2. Do you have better pictures of the front elements and back elements? Are they in good condition? When was the set serviced? Thanks!
  3. Bump. I am still looking for a reasonably priced BNCR set (Canon K35s) Thank you!
  4. Ideally, the 18mm should be a T1.5, but I'd take a set with the T2.8 18mm as well. Thanks!
  5. Hi! I am looking to buy a Canon K35 lens set in good condition. To save money, I want a lens set in BNCR mounts (not yet converted to PL Mounts which I know is very expensive and time consuming). I can use a BNCR mount on the camera. In good condition and a fair price for BNCR lenses. Thank you! Please contact me at: medavoym@yahoo.com Thank you!
  6. Hi! We are looking for a: CANON K35 18mm T1.5 LENS Preferably in PL Mount, but we would also consider a BNCR lens if the price is right. Thanks! Please let us know at: medavoym@yahoo.com All the best, Mike
  7. Just as the title says... we are looking for a: CANON K35 18MM T1.5 LENS preferably in PL Mount Thanks! Please e-mail me at: medavoym@yahoo.com
  8. I also couldn't mount on my RED a Tegea 9.8mm lens with a custom Century PL mount.
  9. Hi! I am making my own custom mattebox. I want it to take round 4 1/2 (4.5 inch) filters and I want to modify some normal square/rectangular filter trays so they can take them. 5x5 filter trays seem the closest to what I want. If anyone has a couple of them for sale (or close enough to 5x5), please send me an e-mail. Thanks! medavoym@yahoo.com
  10. Hi! I have a Canon 14mm lens in BNCR mount. It's quite hard to put too many filters in front of this lens... after 1-2 filters, it starts to vignette. At the back element, this lens has a thread - I think the diameter of it is about 36-37mm (see attached photo). So I think I could screw onto there a small Tiffen 37mm filter, like an ND when I need it. Would that create image problems? Any downside or things to watch for when doing a thing like that? If not, can I stack in there 2 filters, on top of each other? I'm using it on the RED ONE camera, so shutter clearance is not an issue at all. Thanks for any tips!
  11. Hi David, How exactly should I achieve this? I suspect I need some kind of lens/optical element right behind the ground-glass. Thanks!
