I'm interested in using a Century Graphic as a landscape field camera. I'd like to use Cokin P-series filters (e.g., neutral density gradients). Does the Century have enough clearance for a Cokin P system holder?
Thanks! |

Well, sorta. My guess is with a normal lens you'd have to use a little rise to get it to fit and have any kind of movement of the grad filter.
that isn't a bad thing since you 'll add some rise to get rid of the parking lot/grass and add sky.
you'll have to make your own adapter from an existing P adapter and a Series VI filter holder and some epoxy or use gaffer tape.
Now if you are going to use a wide angle then you may have problems as the lens will sit too far in, it won't have room to rise, and maybe not have the coverage to rise enough |

After playing around with my (new) Century Graphic, I can answer my own question. The Cokin P system will barely fit over the bed. To use a Singh-Ray ND Grad, you have to drop the bed and then raise the lens. A little tricky, but it works....
