Brantuk Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 "You should have made one like mine Kim cost £30" Yes - I was gonna do that Felix - but coincidentally I saw the Pol-Ami in Sky@Night in the gear section the next day. It's got a couple more bells and whistles than the DIY job, so I just thought.... what the heck...... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Woah there Kim, steady on mate, going ccd now eh? Nice camera though I had the mono and now have the colour, dead easy to use. i still have filters and may part with them if you are keen on doing lrgb with your camera. Personally I found it too much of a faff, thats why I swapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its a similar price anyway Ron, just know that Dion's ones are extremely high quality (as are Bern's of course) for someone who is not a manufacturer by trade.
