Schneider 47/5.6 XL + center filter + Lee ND = vignetting?

[guoming_shou2]

Hi-

I have the XL and center filter, and also a Lee holder with grad ND

filters. Before I buy the adapter to put Lee filter holder on the center

filter, I am wondering if that would result in severe vignetting?

 

Thanks!

1.) What format film will you shooting?

 

2.) How many slots does your filter holder have? If it is the filter hoder withthe

compendium shade attached , yes you'll get a lot of vignetting on 4x5.

 

3.) For vertical orientation, may be no vignetting. For horizonal oformat orientation it is

quite likely.

 

4.) You should only get the w/a adapter rng. Not the standard.

What you need is a different Lee holder - the standard holder will vignette even with the WA adaptor ring. You need a 100mm push on holder and the "donut spacer" (I got mine from Robert White - see here: http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/lee.htm#LabelLeeSHolder ). The spacer slides around the center filter and the push on holder goes onto that. This arrangement works perfectly with one filter slot in any direction. I have not tried it with two - it may work. The result of using this filter holder and spacer ring is that the filter end up less than 1mm from the front of the center filter. I also use this holder on a 3B center filter on my 58mm, 80 and 100XL lenses.

Ellis, it is 4X5. And I only want to put one filter in addition to the center filter.

 

Donald, thanks a lot! I will try that.
