Just follow up on my decision for filtering this lens. I decided that I was going to shift over to the Lee 100mm system. Now with that decision it does limit before vignetting sets in to instead 12mm the limit is 5mm limit on rise or fall or shift depending on what your doing. Now my reasoning was to try and keep the system small with filters plus I can easily slap this on any other lens in my system with just changing the correct mm ring.
Now I would mostly be doing filters in landscape work which with a lens this wide doing shifts would be rare very early in the morning shooting water movement for instance and more important I still get full tilt which for me being really low to the ground would be normal and this setup would be fine. So in essence I lost 7mm worth of rise/fall or shift. I consider that not too bad a setup. Now if this was a 24mm TSE I would be more concerned about the missing 7mm but with the 24TSE the 100mm works without this MM limitation so I just be just fine when I get that lens. I got the special made adapter ring for the 17 today and just waiting on the rest of the parts. I bought Haida neutral density filters as they are glass with no color shift, Sigma 105mm CPL and the Lee Foundation holder are all on there way.
The Haida ND filter does have the foam on it but I read somewhere this was causing problems with the big stopper filter from Lee which I'm not buying, Haida has a 3.0 which I'll get next, I bought the 1.8 for now. If anyone has more info on that issue please let me know. Im thinking I may have to trim the foam down. I'll see when I get the holder what's up
