Nope. The stock Lee holder is designed for resin filters, so there are three narrow tracks. Schneider modifies the filter holder so that two, thicker glass filters can be accommodated.

Do you use a thumb rule for the hyperfocal distance at different apertures? It is on the M lenses but absent from the S lenses.

Bob,

I found a good hyperfocal position with some experimentation. Generally, when shooting landscape on a tripod, I'm almost always shooting at f/11 or…[Read more]

I'd add that when I use wide angle S lenses at infinity, I almost never allow the camera to auto focus focus to infinity. In my mind, doing so effectively discards a large portion of my usable DOF. I usually set the hyperfocal position manually and just shoot everything at this setting. Then, on a 30mm, I can get DOF on everything from 3ft to…[Read more]

So much so, the main reason for getting the 23mm would be for speed and smaller size. Of course, I bet the IQ of the 23mm is better than the zoom, but maybe not by a whole lot. What…

Nice images, Al!

It's great that Leica brought along a T so everyone on the workshop could try it out.

Absolutely stunning images.

Sounds like getting these was quite the challenge though. I wonder if the results would be different with the 400 f/2.8 non-modular, 400 f/2.8 modular or 400 f/4 modular, as you probably wouldn't need to stop down as much, which solves some of the handling issues.

The lens we adapted to S mount was the…[Read more]
