Wanted Center filter 67mm or a place to buy one they seem as rare as hens teath as the old saying goes

Hi Chris,

may I suggest you try your new Super Angulon first without a center filter? Those filters are quite expensive and for landscape work, you may not feel the need to use one. I had what you are looking for, but I sold it again, as I never used it on the Nikkor SW 65mm.
Plus, the slight vignetting effect can very easily be corrected in Photoshop, should you scan your slides.

If however, you really wish to get a center filter, there is a new one for your SA on eBay right now (item 250371384571). I can recommend this seller as I have bought from him recently and his item descriptions seem very accurate (not difficult in this case ) and everything went fast and smooth.

Regards

Hi Aender

I do indeed scan my stuff i have an epson v700 joby.

I do use most lenses at f22 for near far i guess that would help to control fall off but will Velvia 50 be easily adjusted in PS ? I know print negs can but not yet tried velvia in 4x5 form.

Thanks for the ebay link i will go and have a look.

Hi Chris,

again, your taste may very well differ from mine, but I do not find it necessary to use a center filter, since I don't do architecture shots with lots of movements (which the 65mm lenses don't have anyway, since their image circle is only 170mm).
I find it very easy to correct fall off - if necesary - even with Velvia 50. I have never used anything else than slide film, mostly Velvia 50.

As I said, if I were you, I would just run a few quick test shots and see if the results suit your taste. If you don't like it, you can always get a center filter, as they do come up on eBay from time to time. 200 EUR would be the minimum to pay though.
