Quick filter storage

muko · 15th April 2005

Anybody like to use many filter oftenly?

How do you guys keep your filter?
If put in bag difficult to get right?

Actually i am thinking of a round bag where you put in your hip and easily access while shooting.
So you can take and put in with one hand only.

Is there any such bag as that?
Or any idea?

I have a flat one that you can fold to a passport size folder. It can hold 6 filters. Bought it on B&H.

you using round filters or square filters ?
cokin filter pouch is better for square filters where scratching is not an issue
else i'd recommend using stack caps.

A cheap alternative to dedicated end caps are cheap filter themselves. You can find 2nd hand filters and then cover the glass area with rigid plastic or cardboard to avoid glass breakage....put in place by double sided tape...

One good advantage of this method is you can read the filter name accordingly......at random access.....

Cargo pants, I wear them almost everyday, and my uniform's cargo too...

Throw everything in them, batteries, filters (seldom use filters tho), CF card, flash, and even a lens or two, I even manage to stuff my 17-35 in a pocket.

Just try not to run around with your pockets full...

Edit: Oh yeah, I even tried stuff a 7D body in one pocket and the 24-105 in another... looks like a dork and can barely walk, So i brought a bag...

I can only afford Hoyas and only use the circ pol filter... I cannot stack it over the UV filter.... so I need to change especially when moving in and out of buildings to open air during a holiday... haven't tried other filters yet cos I dun do those genres yet..... now on digital I am starting to think about them... so this thread was timely in a sense.

You should try B+W. They screw on and off more easily and are easier to clean.

No money...

And I haven't bought a Polarizer yet since my cokin system (which was under used as well, was using the ND more), and now no longer fit the 7D...

Maybe I should go buy some NDs... But the 17-35 filter thread... is 77mm... so expensive...
