Thats beautiful. Speaking of ND, when I use a variable ND on super8 camera, changing focus also rotates the filter ring, rotating the ND and changing its values, so is there a fix, so ND stays still while I rotate the focus
@@FotodioxInc Yeah if the whole lens is moving, then we can only attach some arms to the camera body, for the ND, like a matte box (or somewhere on a rig), if we had to rack focus, or not use variable ND : D
I have had this filter for my Sony 12-24 GM lens for over 2 years now. I love everything about the lens except it’s a pain in the ass to screw the CPL onto the base mount. It’s so big, it’s a two handed job. Then the threads constantly want to cross thread, so you have to be ultra careful.. after 3-4 tries, it goes on. The worst part however, is getting the CPL to unscrew. It seems to lock itself in there, regardless of how light I actually screw the lens in. Because the outer ring of the base mount turns also, it just spins when I’m trying to unscrew the lens. I’ve literally had to leave it on after a shoot and mess with it at home to get it off. I’m shocked they haven’t come up with a better solution. Something to actually get a grip on or magnets.. anything, please!! Am I the only one who has this problem? Did I get a lemon? I did reach out to the company about a year ago, but little to no help unfortunately.
Thanks for the heads up, We realize it can be tricky to mount because of how large the filters are and how the CPL filter already has a rotating part. I'll let our design team know about this issue.

Not sure how you'd address that issue

@@DethronerX That makes sense, could work well
Nice. But when I stop shooting and want to leave the filter holder on, is there a way to cover the lens?
Or will the lens cap would fit in ?
You can use our WonderPana lens cap.
