Every filter wallet I've used has gassed out on my filters, leaving a film that is somewhat hard to remove. I just use the cases they come in now. Here's a thought. If you sew, or know someone who does, why not make a filter case out of fabric? I suspect stack caps are still available. I used

I use very few filters with digital. Primarily polarizers, very rarely a neutral density. I carry them in the plastic filter holders provided by the manufacturer. Paul > On Feb 4, 2021, at 4:05 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > I find myself running two camera bags, one for the K-1 one for the

I find myself running two camera bags, one for the K-1 one for the K-3. For the most part, the lenses I use with the K-3 take bigger filters, so it would be handy to split my filters into two different filter wallets. Do people have any particular filter wallets that they really like, or

A lot of slang takes on broader meanings when it spreads outside the community where it "originated". On 2/4/2021 11:55:13, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Right on the money, John! So, now the question is which OG do you dial in a dialOG[ue]... As I've learned recently, "OG" is actually quite spread

Right on the money, John! So, now the question is which OG do you dial in a dialOG[ue]... As I've learned recently, "OG" is actually quite spread in the modern slang with the meaning "old school", "classic". E.g. "OG DSLR shooter/photographer". Cheers, Igor John Wed, 03 Feb 2021

If you hunt around for grips of this sort, you'll see there are various different shapes and sizes suited for different shaped/sized hands, also various different kinds of connecting bracketry and intended applications. I'm sure someone would custom make the grip portion to your specification

Thanks, ann, and everyone else who looked. As Mike said, there is no obligation here to wear a mask outdoors - I certainly don’t unless I’m buying something from a stall. Most infections seem to take place indoors without adequate ventilation. With the pubs and restaurants etc closed I think
