Hey, that's a neat idea. I've got one of those grey, micro-fibre cloths too. But it takes up as much space as a 4x5 Kodak grey card if neatly folded and contained in its package - actually, a little more, as it measures about 4" x 6". Also, the grey cloth that I found looks to be about a stop brighter than the Kodak 18% grey card - I've not measured it yet.
Although I think it's a pretty good idea, I don't see any real benefit compared to using a calibrated, 4" x 5" grey card. mike wilson wrote: > > Hi, > > Bob wrote: > > > one of my bright ideas is that a mid-grey (or mid-toned) lens cloth > > about 30cm square would be more useful than a grey card...... > > .....and, believe it or not, Pentax (taraaah!) make one.
