LEE filter dilema

Hapy new year everyone.

 

I have used the original 100mm filter systen across my 35mm and MF cameras for 10 years and enjoy using them.

 

I know Lee make a smaller format for micro and RF cameras however the thought of having duplication really grates me. Id prefer to buy more glass.

 

Has anyone got any experience of using the 100mm system on Leica RF cameras.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Andy

Won't they block the viewfinder?

 

Yes.....but to an extent, so does the Lee RF/Seven 5 systems. However, if Andy is using an M 240, live view gets around that problem.

 

The other thing that needs to be thought about is that soft edge ND grads on 100mm are far too soft. With the RF/Seven 5 system, it's recommended that hard grads are used to replicate an acceptable 'soft' graduation.

 

I somehow doubt that anyone regularly uses a 100mm system on an M....but I may be wrong.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll stick to shooting film landscapes :-)

 

I use an m8

 

Thought soft grads would cause an issue.

 

I have a big stoper that I fancied using.

 

Thanks for the replies

I have used Lee 100s on my M system. I now use the seven/5. I I remember correctly, I bought Cokin filter rings and glued them to Lee filter rings. Worked well with digital; snap, play, adjust, repeat as necessary.

 

I like the smaller Seven/ better for portability...
