matlep Posted February 10, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I wanted to try my Graduated filter-kit on my M9 which i use on my Canon. And i thought it looked so funny i wanted to share it. Wievfinder blockage. Yes! Even with en external finder But with some guessing it gives good results. I only needed a adoptor ring. Glad i don´t need a new system for the few times i use grad filters.. Below is my Hi-Tech 100 ND8 on my Elmarit 21. 100mm wide filter are definitely too big!

thrice Posted February 10, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2010 I use the Lee RF75, a lot smaller, a lot more practical. That is huge !! 'wouldn't you get almost as good results in post processing using localized exposure adjustements ? If you expose for the foreground, you'll blow the sky, if you expose for the sky you'll have a lot of noise upon bringing up the foreground. That is in a landscape-like situation of course, if the tones are within the dynamic range I wouldn't use a GND. You can always bracket and blend, I do that with complex horizons, but otherwise, getting it right in a single shot is a lot quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matlep Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted February 10, 2010 That is huge !! 'wouldn't you get almost as good results in post processing using localized exposure adjustements ? Yep But sometimes i wanna do it in camera. And sometimes it gives longer exposures that is not achievable in post processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matlep Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted February 10, 2010 I use the Lee RF75, a lot smaller, a lot more practical. Absolutley, but as i said in my first post, i don not wanna go out and buy a new system for the few times i use grad-filters. It´s good to be able to use the things already lying around. Lee has a special Rangefinder holder that looks nice. But i rather spend my money on more glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted February 10, 2010 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Lee has a special Rangefinder holder that looks nice. But i rather spend my money on more glass. A wise decision. As you have shown the 100mm system is pretty usable instead of the 75 but the other way around generally isn't. That's how I ended up with both systems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
