[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Luggers, Since I sense a MAJOR debate warming up over BW printing (who does it), art, hero worship and the like, I'd like to get my 2 part Question out before a potential LUG meltdown/free-for-all occurs and my Q's get ignored. #1--Noctilux. 2749xxx, detachable hood, NO 50 on barrel is version one, correct? My understanding was that nocti's all used 60mm lens filters, but have seen a designation 58 as well. Assuming I have version one, then does it take a 58 or a 60mm filter size? #2-- Alrighty now, this question isn't as rudimentary as how to load film in M6 (a thread which incidentally got me to wondering if I hadn't been loading my camera "properly" all this time)..... but it's close. I have a Slr lense that takes a 72mm filter. I'd like to use a step ring so that I can use my 72mm dk red filter on both lenses. I can't conceive of, but is there any reason why a using larger (BW) filter on the 58/60mm Nocti lense would be "BAD." TIA Kim
