How to build a wide angle lens filter holder | 2 versions | Panasonic 7-14mm
Many of the wide angle lens filter holder systems on the market are incredibly expensive and often difficult to find in stock for some lens models. In this video, I’ll show you how I built my own for the Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 lens for just over $50. I’ll also show you an alternative version that cost just over $25.
I shot the introduction and the bulk of the description segments in a time frame that was unexpectedly narrow. As usual, my videos are unscripted and I shoot from the hip, making for some interesting verbal blenders. It’s amazing what you discover when you have to edit yourself.
