Filters!
OK, the 100mm Macro and the Sigma 12-24 arrived. Looks good, but had not yet any opportunity to go and use them. The Sigma certainly is better finished then I remembered/expected. A nice surprise.
While I was thinking about equipment, I started to remember about those graduated neutral filter. I had forgotten about them because with the B&W negative films I have used for years, it is much better to control contrast by development. And scanners can see through any burned highlights anyway.
In digital I am again facing what slide shooters have always battled: washed out highlights. Or black shadows. Or both.
So I have taken a look at Lee and Hitech catalogues and price lists. Hmmm, not too expensive at first sight but when I add up everything that’s really need it amounts to a solid budget.
Will need to think more about it.
