Using filters from a video camera with the 5DM3?

[kat.hayes]

I have access to some TIFFEN filters that were used by someone else with a Panasonic HVX200 video camera

I'm using a 5DM3 and a 24-70mm and a EF70-200mm

Can these filters somehow be used with the 5D and these lenses?

Thanks.

Perhaps if you cut them to size for a Cokin P series filter holder?

I'm not sure. Somebody else should know more definitively.

Yes, you can. All you would need is a square 4" filter holder and the respective lens adapter(s) for it.
I use a Formatt-Hitech filter holder that can be adjusted to take filters up to 4mm thick.
I'm sure the other major manufacturers such as Lee, Singh-Ray, and Cokin (Z Series) all make filter holders that will suit your purpose, too - you'd just have to check they can take the thicker filters.
