<p>I'm pretty sure that they would specifically manufacture a $70 adapter ring that does nothing other than this if that were true. Not to mention, I defy you to find a single camera shop in the world which is not backordered on the 105mm Firecrest ultraslim filter which fits onto it : P No really, please find one, I'd give anything to be able to buy this for my deranged science experiments! lol</p>

<p>Obviously it does, or every filter holder company out there wouldn't be producing holders set up to do so : p </p> <p>There are also specialty sprocket type polarizers made so that they can slide into one of the holder slots instead, allowing you thus to put the polarizer into the first slot. </p>

<p>I think that yes, it's referring to the casing of the filter, and thus distance from the lens. Thus, closer to the lens, equals less vignetting. Thus, how is it possible for putting a polarizer at the far end of a stack of other filters to REDUCE vignetting?<br> <br />And also, again, should it affect vignetting if I put a super slim or standard polarizer on the end of this setup then?</p>

<p>I just ordered a Lee filter holder system with the attachment for a polarizer. Three questions:</p> <p>1. I have read elsewhere that the advantage of a very slim mount polarizer such as 4.5mm is that it reduces vignetting compared with a standard 7.5mm, due to the polarizer's closeness to the lens. Is this true? If not, what IS the advantage? </p> <p>2. The Lee system CLAIMS that somehow, with their adapter and 105mm polarizer, vignetting is eliminated even on very wide angles, down to 16mm. This seems to fly in the face of the above idea, since the polarizer here is very far away indeed. </p> <p>3. Does it matter which I attach to the end of my setup? Because the polarizer I want, is currently out of stock in the 4.5mm but in stock in the 7.5....</p>

<p>I just ordered a Lee filter holder and several filters, including a GND. I began looking at Reverse GND's, but then it struck me: couldn't I just put my GND in upside down? Assuming I'm using it for Sunset/Sunrise, so I'd be sliding it in from the top, will it stay in there just part way like that?<br> Am I correct in my belief that this will provide exactly the same effect as a reverse GND?</p>

<p>I've always carried a shoulder bag, because the gear is right there at my fingertips, horizontal to the ground, I can just rip open the top grab my current setup or very quickly switch a lens. <br />But, I do multi-hour hikes to locations all the time, and the fact is, the shoulder bag is hard on the body. I think about switching to a backpack ALL the time, but every time I go down to the camera shop and have a look, I just can't get over how clunky and inconvenient a backpack is.</p> <p>So my question is, are there any backpacks out there that might satisfy my need for speed and versatility?</p> <p>I carry a 1Ds Mk III, 5D Mk II, macro lens, wide angle lens, flash and 28-70mm zoom. But I'll want a bit of extra space probably, because I usually would carry some snacks and odds and ends in a day pack along with my camera gear.<br> '</p>
