Widelux filter project

Gerry Orkin · Sep 4, 2020

I'm investigating the viability of manufacturing a batch of Widelux filters for the f6, f7 and f8 cameras. If you are interested in obtaining filters please fill out this form!

How do the filters work? Can you share a picture of the camera with the filter on it? Thanks

Can you 3d print Horizon filters? I suspect that is a bit of a challenge, but no harm in asking...

These are great!

Hey, I don't have a photo handy, but inside the lens turret and above the lens itself is a small metal tab. The filters have a small slot that fits over that tab. It's a little tricky to put them on until you get the hang of it...

No, not easily (I bought an Horizon just the check ).

I would like to get a red WideLux filter to IR film and green. I posted my request on your website.

Hey, I’m currently taking reservations for a second batch of filters. I’m not sure I have your details - please visit the site again and look for the Widelux filter link in the menu

Gerry, you sent me not one but two confirmations, so that means that I will receive 12 filters for the price of 6, correct? Now I have to buy another WideLux, mount them on a bar and have stereo panoramic photographs. Time for GAS!!!

Hahaha whoops

I do know someone who has done the stereo thing…

I just received the WideLux filters from @Gerry Orkin and I am happy with the filters. Gerry cannot submit feedback on my Trader History. @Sean or @MattKing help Gerry?

Now that I have new 7 WideLux from the order and 4 from before, how can I safely carry and store them? I modified a reading eyeglass case with black foam to hold 4 of them before. Any ideas or recommendations?

That's a great idea! I keep mine in transparent 35mm film canisters. Not as elegant as your solution though!!

Does anyone have any filter recommendations now that Gerry no longer makes these filters?

Welcome to Photrio!

I wish I could supply another vendor, but Gerry was the only one I know about. It would not hurt to contact Gerry and see if he will make a set for you.
