It looks like I'm "stuck" with the dvc30 for a while and found out that i shall invest in a few filters.
I primarely shoot outdoors extremesports, Freeride/downhill cycle. The plan for the summer is more scenic shots as the Nature here i Norway is great, the Fjords in the West and Lofoten i North, with midnight sun just to mention some of it. The only downside is the weather, which is more unstable and the showers more sudden than...verything, rainslicker is needed just to move outside.
So far i found out i need a few ND filtets to control the light, and maybe some graduated ones for creative use. Any suggestions?
Shooting conditions range from boring flat, grey light(so bad i'm avoiding it like drugs...) to nice "smooth" light as this http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bilder/vis_bilde.cgi?id=191422&sort=&brukerid=&kategori=
The problem number two, screw-in filters or 4x4/3x3 and again filter holder or mattebox? I'm using the century 58mm wide angle lens as well with steprings, this is a fairly heavy setup and i'm not shure i can attach a mattebox to this without support rods?
And is a mattebox needed at all, so expensive..? Or will for example centry's sunshade/filter holder that accepts 4x4/3x3 filters do?
Any suggestions or advice regarding setup?
