This did not have a dialable filter head, we (I and my brother) used acetate filters. It was very little hassle to work with the filters, since we were fairly well organized, and we got good results. But there are a couple of points against using them, being: You can't get as fine adjustments with the filters as you can with a dialable arrangement; and separate are (at least as far as I know) farther from the light source than the dialable rig (which is generally built into the light unit), thus imperfections in and crap on the filters will have more of an effect on the final result. Then there's the problem of having a stack of filters a foot high to get just the right compensation for the 2-stops underexposed frame shot under flourescent light... Mark Mallett
