dkCambridgeshire Posted October 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) X Vario fitted with Lee Seven 5 filter holder and Lee 9ND Graduated 'Soft' filter ... requires a 43mm spacer ring to enable XV lens to 'trombone' between its 35mm to 70mm settings; also requires the Lee 'Seven 5' 43mm adapter ring for the Lee filter holder. . So far, no vignetting ... but have not yet tried the combination 'in the field' Now looking forward to controlling sky brightness 'in camera' when e.g. photographing buildings and trees ... will also be useful fro controlling window light inside buildings Welcome, dear visitor!

ravikumar Posted February 6, 2022 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) the only downside i've found to the Lee Filter system ( i have the big and little stopper) is that you need the mounting ring for each specific lens size. Since i only use one of my lenses for landscape I only got the one size - but it works for me and what I want to do right now. They are a bit expensive and people will tell you that you can get the same results with cheaper welding glass or similar but I like the lee filter system and find it works well. Now I'm looking at getting some more filters for the 100mm set You may just want to pick one of your lenses and get the kit with that attachment piece in the beginning to start out.
