Accesories for nature/sunsets filming?

They're not deep. That's the point about them being modular - you just clip an extra one on as needed.

You mean 1 hood can be attached to another one? Didn't know that.

I bought three, but never used more than two - then I acquired the Arii matte box. Pity you live so far away ;-)

I flipped 1 page back and saw the description. Funny that I never looked at that page.

You bought 3 Cokin adaptors?

Robin Davies-Rollinson · May 17th, 2004, 04:30 AM

No, not three adapters, three lens shades! They can be clipped together as required, but three was too much , except for telephoto.
They slide onto the adaper.

2 or 3 hood can be vignetting the xm2 picture, doesn't?

Robin Davies-Rollinson · May 17th, 2004, 05:41 AM

Two won't, three might at extreme wide angle.

Update!

I've had a go at the P series.:

1 - There is an extension ring that takes the box beyond the mic.

2 - There is no location screw to STOP the whole box from "spinning-around" .. bit like Kylie . .. silly ommission.

3 - Has anybody tried the circ polarizer with the serrated edge? Tried it, didn't like the way IMHO it hurt my fingers ! ! !

4 - Anybody tried the Bellows with the thing?

5 - Frank, you get extra Cokin square units to clip on . .. yeah?

Grazie
