actually is true, they've never been direct competitors, was me being a young and poor photographer when still shooting 4x5s... :((
(not that now I'm a rich one...at all!)
I got pissed off with Lee when they stopped producing their heavy frost in 2mt height a couple of years ago....was my favorite to build large screens. but I have to admit.. I'm still using the two lee compendium lens hoods after almost 10 yrs ...they are good...
by the way, never ever had the "luck" to shoot in neon lit environments....fortunately ;) -
cokin and lee are/were direct contestant in the market....quite the same resin and pigments.
to me the only use for skylight can be if you're a photojournalist/travel photographer working in very dusty places and you have to clean the front lens very often...at least you end up scratching the filter instead of the front lens.. -
if you buy them new not...pretty expensive...
but e-bay can be your friend...
lots of old school photographer selling them out. the cool thing is that they are pretty big (like 10x10 or 8x8cm) and the quality is amazing...and they have filters for anything..from basic color/light correction to what they call "creative" (read wird) effects...
I have a polarizer and a couple of gradient filters that I use quite a lot... -
You can get them for $6.
hand held cokin filters FTW
I've used the nikon to canon and leica to canon adapters for a couple of years and they work great, think I paid like 30 € for both at the time...

so here is the list, all the prices are open to close offers:- 1-
Surosa fixed or single speed. I think they where getting this frames built as winter trainers. this frame was always a bit too big for me so was not ridden that much.
It's alloy 7005 and the top tube is slightly slooping, 1 cm (backwards)
the size is 56.5 effective c-c and 56 seat tube CC
it has cable guides bt they can be removed.
The bb is quite high, I was riding it with 172,5 cranks and never had any pedal strike issue.
The fork is a 1" Alpina carbon (alu crown and stearer) with Cane Creek 1" head set, the shim to use a 1 and 1/8" stem is already there
Sugino 75 road cranks
Campagnolo bb
(and no, I'm not mixing ISO and JIS, all the sugino stuff non NJS approved is ISO, even the track stuff)

Every little helps...
poor girls...
those pictures are seriously bad..they look really cheap shots by wannabe glamour photographer..making them pretty vulgar.. -
that's a bike i like very much.
- geometry.
- colour.
- wheels.
- ...
That's exactly the same frame of my ride, different color and differently branded but same frame builder...
I know a guy who still has some frames like this in his shop in my hometown... - geometry.
-
right... just had a look, mine is the d-ex...fullframe...guess the lens is anyway built in a very similar way...
-
yeah it will fit a D3, but the D3 would automatically crop the sensor to DX format.
it's a great lens, really good in confined spaces, and it doesn't distort to bad unless you're really close to the subject.
why does it crop down to dx?
-
very nice lens, have one my self... nice and sharp...
-
mh...
don't want to start a bid-hate thing...but what about £45? -
Si: "Vaffanculo Rompiballe".
Happy to help......

I've seen that flexy frost...didn't like it..is quite different from the classic frost.. still have an old half of a 2mt roll for now and then i'll see..
never used florescent light...seen some in tv/movie studios and some fashion photoshoot but never had first hand experience... any good? I like mainly flash or daylight..
what kind of photography do you do?
