Want to Buy WTB Zone VI viewing filter

[Austin_Jessup]

Just lost one on the big auction site and thought I'd turn to the good people here. I don't have a preference on format for framing, just want to use it as a learning tool.

Name your price!

If it doesn't have to be a Zone VI you can get a new one;

I think B&H carries these too, or else other shops that carry cinematography stuff should have them.

Try some amber sunglasses from Walmart. I had one years ago. Just a small amber colored filter.

What format? For example, I have one that's for my 6x7 MF film camera. If you match the format, then you can see the frame of your shot as well before you shoot it.

I have a couple and happy to sell you one for the right price but be aware; They are useless.

That's extremely honest of you Ralph. One wouldn't get that kind of response from a shop sales person for sure! D

I agree with somebody above saying"strong sunglasses have the same effect>

Thanks everyone! I think I'll start with a pair of amber colored sunglasses and see where that gets me.

Useless in what way? In "previewing" in b/w or as framing devise or both? I remember reading somewhere a while back that is was basically a Wratten "#something or other" filter sandwiched in glass with a 4x5 mask.

Thanks very much!

It’s a wratten 90 filter which I think you can buy from B&H in gel form. The Zone VI filter was sandwiched between two 35mm (2” x2”) glass slide mounts. I have a bunch of glass slide mounts. I may have an extra Zone VI viewing filter for 4x5. PM me if you still want one or some slide mounts. Neither for free. .
