this is not a for sale ad. I jst want to see if there is still a demand for these filters. I'l decide in a few days if I will or not.Is this a For Sale ad? What size; what price?
80a balances daylight film using tungsten bulbs.
the 80b balances tungsten film in daylight.
If I find time,I'll be listing all of the filters for sale later today.I'm assuming everyone knows what wratten filters look like. I'm asking this because I would prefer not handling them too much in case they get damaged.So I'm hoping that I won't have to supply images. I can unequivocally state that I have inspected all of the filters and they are in very good to pristine condition. I wore cotton gloves and handled them by the edges. I'll include price per filter and shipping cost.all of the filters are 3x3 inch

I use them. If you have a lens that can’t take a filter on the front, like an ultrawide, and you want to put the filter between the lens and the film, you want the filter to be as thin as possible, and gelatin filters do this best. Also, if you shoot infrared and want to put an infrared filter in the film gate in the back of the camera, so you can focus the camera, that’s another use for gelatin filters. I’ve occasionally used them for color correction.
My most common use for them, however, is for B&W when I want to travel light, usually with my 8x10” Gowland Pocket View, and I carry a little Moleskine book with file pockets, designed for filing receipts, and a Voss clip-on filter holder and shade with two barndoors, which takes 3” filters. My 8x10” lenses are mostly odd filter sizes, so this clip-on filter holder is ideal.
How do you put a (gel) filter in the film gate?
Shouldn’t touch either the shutter or film, so I’m guessing tightly stretched between the guide rails, glued down with tape.
Correct?
And any tips on do’s and don’ts?
That's the idea.
I still use them and carry them, in addition to glass filters, both of which I use and recommend, especially since I shoot several formats, including Hasselblad and Minolta 6x6cm, 135, 120 roll medium format, 4.5-6x9cm, 4x5 and am building a 5x7" pinhole.
I believe new shooters should invest in a full set of colour correction and ND filters to begin with, rather than the expensive glass filters for a growing group of lenses, other than polaizers, which I feel should be good quality.
Adjustable square gel holders are out there, look first to eBay, for the spring tension type which will fit a reliable range of lenses/formats.
Simple methods abound for using these filters and as long as you take care using and storing them, they'll last years.
i suspect many more photographers here use them, so yes, there is a market for them.
The Cokin A system is super affordable, since most people assume it's crap. It not. In fact it makes some types of filters, that are normally insanely expensive, affordable, if you are not given them for free.
Diffraction grating filters, every kind of gradation, optical apparition filters etc.
And they are easy to stack and still use the clip on shade.
Basically as low rent matte box.
