Will do man, thanks a bunch.

hey can anyone help me with selecting/buying filters?
im interested in getting the LEE , what should i try to get,, resin or polyester?
but i remember you guys saying i should get the cokin holder?
which holder do i get, and where do i get it.. also how do i know which lee filters can fit in that holder? should i just buy everything from leefilterusa.com or try to get it from bhphoto or somewhere else?
and what is the difference between soft and hard grad?
and i see that theres the gel snap holders has Elastomeric Tensioning Device (heavy rubber band), so does that mean i dont have to buy any stepdown rings?
wanna use it for landscapes mainly..
thanks

I have the cokin Z-Pro holders with a 77mm step down adapter. You would have to get a stepdown to your desired lens diameter that you will mount it on. I have Hitech filters that are 4x5. I believe the Lee filters are 4x6. I bought the package from HERE. Soft grand has a longer phase from clear to gray. Hard grad will phase closer to a line, mainly for open horizons. Check with LeeUSA to see if the cokin Z-pro will fit their filters. I'm pretty sure it will. Lee filters are almost double the price of the Hitech.

let me guess; triathlon carbon fiber type?

how do you like hitech filters?
is the width of the filter the main thing for fitting certain holders?

I have no gripes at all on the hitechs, they are nice. The beauty of the larger filters are that can cover more of the lens when adjusting it. The width and the thickness will determine if the holder will work.

Anyway, how was your eating recovery? Food never tastes so good after that diet.

RYAN - nice work, do you photograph the chicks too?

lol.. well i started off by drinking oj, and eggs and salad for the first 2 days
then i ate 1 piece of pork chop wit some tomato soup and salad for the next 2 days then after that back to normal


is there any advantages from buying the Z series holder compared to the P series.. which is pretty damn cheap?

The Z can be reversed to hold one filter on one side or three on the other side. This eleminates the use of a separate wide angle adaptor for the UWA lenses.

I sent my 24-70mm L and my 30D off to Canon Irvine,Ca Monday the1st of Oct to have the lens calibrated and received it back yesterday Friday the 5th,
Canon stated that they adjusted the pcb assy (whatever that is?). They also said the lens assy was out of place causing rear focus and repaired that.
I want to say nothing but good things about Canon Service, both local and Irvine. I received E mails when they got it and when it was finished , including tracking info for FedEx.

I posted a couple handheld shots taken with the lens from the Orchid Show today at

Wow! what service...that was a quick turnaround. I hope if I have problems, I'll have great service like that. Good for you David. Was your lens bought new?

I got the Lens from B&H this past March......so repairs were covered by warranty,
shows that quailty control at the lens factory is lacking, to put it mildly.

hey for people looking for hoya and b + w filters
check out www.hvstar.net the prices there are crazy

Aiea1, what was wrong with your lens? I got a 24-70 as well that I bought brand new in Janurary of this year. I got 2 months left till Canon warranty expires...
