Dean, are these filters currently shipping or is there a long wait time?

Trevor ...
Not really sure about the time frame for delivery. I assume pretty soon as in a week or there abouts ... you'll have to address Andy on that one.

I just called AbleCineTech about the T1 filter. They take your name and info and will call you when they have them and your name comes up. They have none at the time of this writing. They gave me no info as to when they expect some in. The gal only said, "This is a VERY popular filter". Of course it is. There is going to be one sold for every EX1 Sony screwed us on.

Has anyone established what light loss does the T1 filter cause?

Hello Piotr,
I just did a quick test using the camera's auto exposure function. With T1 1R filter F3.4 without T1 1R filter F4.8 Tiffen claim 1/3 fstop loss |

No, I think he's right. The filter takes away light, requiring the camera's aperture to open to allow more light in. f/3.4 with the filter on makes sense - it's a wider aperture than f/4.8.

Right indeed. The camera must compensate for the filter and has to open up the iris. |

Thanks John.
Actually I wish you *were* wrong - this would mean the filter increases camera's sensitivity by a full stop. ;)

Inspection suggests there is no room between lens and WA to fit even a slimline filter. I would be delighted to be proved wrong here... any one tried it? So are there any options? |

Brian,
In Steve Shovlar's next post right below the one you quote he claims to have solved the problem by remounting the T1 in regular filter ring with threads on both sides. It sounds like that is working with the wide angle. Try emailing him. |

There is enough room to fit the bare filter into the filter thread of the Sony lens, and then capture it with a retaining ring from the filter ring the bare filter is removed from. I have not tried this yet but will if I ever get the filters I am promised.
If this idea works, it will probably also allow for another filter to still be used, like a CP or whatever. Then I will probably never remove the T1 unless I am fighting extreme lighting conditions and I have no black issues in the shot. Come to think of it, getting the 486 filter into the same location might be enough to change the angle of incidence of the entering light rays to alleviate the green vignette problem. I will not have to try that too! (hmmm, likely won't make a difference) Last edited by Les Nagy; November 13th, 2009 at 05:49 AM. Reason: another thought. |

- nothing! Not even a confirmation of receiving my payment (and mind you , I ordered and paid not for the T1 filter only). Andy, I hope you will resolve this soon. Piotr
