.7 wideangle and filters, HELP?

IDOG

Well-known member
I have to get this one shot of a man in a car, drivers side.
I will be using a Jib to slowly move into him from outside the windsheild.
The problem is, I will be using a .7 wideangle and I need some kind of polorizing filter to knock down the glare. Is there some kind of filter that will fit over the .7 wideangle lens for the DVX? Any ideas that would be a cheap fix to get 1 shot?
 
Let me preface this - I don't have the .7-

With that said, I thought that it is not possible to add filters after the adapter. What about having the Polorizing filter before the .7? Or would that be to compromising ...

What about reframing the shot so that you come through the side window, or maybe a sun roof, that way you can unroll the window ...
 
You cannot mount filters between the DVX and the .7

You could use a 6x6 mattebox and a polarizing filter with the .7, but that will be quite expensive...

Is that because it's a bayonet fit? Does it have a front thread?

If not, you could possibly use gaffer/insulation tape to secure a circular shaped polariser of big enough diameter on the front. Probably cheaper than a mattebox and 4x4 if only used occasionally.
 
Yes it's because the lens is bayonet-fit. And no, the .7 doesn't have threads that you can use (there are threads but they're not filter-standard, they're part of the manufacturing process for the glass and can't be used to mount filters).
