Lee,

Thank you for the suggestion. Have followed the discussion with interest.
Certainly a way forward in the studio, however I would be a little
concerned about using behind the lens filters in the field - especially a
dusty field :-) Using a grad. filter would take a bit of exercise......
probably easier than holding it in front of the lens - although I have done
that before and got away with it by remembering the approximate position of
the filter after inserting the film holder......






All the best,
