Tobers Posted February 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple of weeks ago I spent a week up in Assynt in north west Scotland. I was exclusively using my Leica CL and Leica T with 18-56 and 55-135 lenses, plus some Lee filters. I'm going to do a more detailed write up on the cameras themselves shortly, but in the meantime if you want some landscape photography happiness, spend 5 minutes here. For some reason I can't get images to embed in this post today. 15 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted February 20, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2019 An interesting account of your recent Scottish adventure Andy. I feel exhausted just reading your narrative. Lovely landscapes thoughtfully captured. Well done! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted February 20, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 20, 2019 Just lovely pictures. And do I detect a certain pride as you describe the rather challenging weather conditions? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobers Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks all. I love the crazy weather up there Scott - it's one of the best things about it. It changes minute to minute and is amazing to watch it unfold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saptarshi Posted February 20, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 20, 2019 Lovely work and lovely blog. What Lee filter would recommend for a beginner(who would like to keep going with it). Also i read that lee filters don't work with the Summilux 24mm? is that true? Regards Saptarshi Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted February 20, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 20, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) A great set. I know the area well, back to student days - it's a geologist's playground. We made a similar trip (in summer!) a couple of years ago Inverness-Ullapool-Durness-Bettyhill. You seem to have had good light - I don't remember seeing much sun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobers Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted February 20, 2019 I find the best filters are Lee. I used the Seven5 system (75mm) with my M9, M240 and M10, and now with my CL and T. The 24mm Summilux needs a specific “Series 7” adaptor ring from Leica which is tough to find (though I happen to have one spare). That adaptor ring has holes in it which need to be blanked off to avoid light leaking in behind the filter holder. Aside from that it works fine.

Tobers Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted February 21, 2019 Yes, pretty much all the time. Working at f11 or so in dull conditions at ISO100 makes it essential. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojay Posted February 21, 2019 Share #11 Posted February 21, 2019 Nicely put together, with some wonderful images, worth your hard work for sure. Landscapes not my thing (shooting wise that is), and your report makes it very clear to me just why that is, it takes a lot of determination and dedication, as well as lot of skill, battling the elements as you do. Congrats and thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBird Posted February 21, 2019 Share #12 Posted February 21, 2019 Very nice set. When we went out to Utah to go to some of the national parks, all I took with me was the CL with the 18-55 on it. It is a great travel camera combination. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
