My daughter and I shoot a lot of B&W. She's in Brooklyn/Manhattan(work)
and I'm here in Delaware. The 72 and 52mm filters are in her bag and I'm
working on a set of 82mm's for the rest of us down South. At Tempe Camera
(AZ) they had a shoebox full of 82 mm used filters and hoods and it's all
gone now too (son at ASU). Looks like luck is needed as much as calling
effort. Lens wise, the intention is to use step up rings to get up to 82.
When we started gathering filters the leap was made directly to 72mm to
cover all 11 lens. Now with a few 77mm lens in the bags the 82mm filters
make the most sense since they're on hand.
One of the guys at B&H searched with a floor terminal under several MF
manufacturers and came up empty. Because of your input on the 6x7 and GS
I'll try some of the MF/LF dealers in Shutterbug.
Thanks for the input,
Jim....still looking
