I have used the Irix edge filter holder on the Irix 15mm lens.
This works really well and uses 100mm square filters e.g. lee, kase, NISI etc.
I purchased it from link just after it was released and it may be available from other stores now.
The holder is an excellent design , very well made and comes with the adaptor for the 15mm lens which attaches via the bayonet mount for the hood.
You can use the holder with two slots and it does not vignet.
Let me know if you want more info.

The whole world of filters is changing rapidly at the moment. The new pretenders to the throne are all claiming to be tint free and "Glass" which in the past many of the leading brands wernt. I have previously seen the filter that slips to the rear of the lens. Though not used it looks a nifty idea. Personally I purchased some 82mm Kase filers for my DFA 24-70. Which are superb. but no use for the Irix or the Pentax 15 - 30.. My only query is how do you conect a grad filter to the Irix ? Only get square / rectangular glass ones....
After a quick search on the Irix gel filters, they come in 3 strengths .6 .9 and 1.2 you get 15 filters in a pack, thats 5 of each and they cost around a tenner for the 15, might be a bit gimmicky but who knows.

When searching a well known auction site today I came across a Haida circular nd grad, it screws on to the front as any circular filter would and seems to have a rotating bit that you can rotate to match the horizon, but I presume it has to have a fixed height, I dont see how you adjust the height that the grad starts.
Google search should bring it up.

Very nice images, a bit of a dreamy feel with the tasteful PP. Looks slightly film-y too.

I like these and your pp.
1, 2 and 4 for me, love the shadow detail in 4, the light is spot on too.
Cowslips, wow, haven't seen those in donkeys years.

Cheers guys,
Hi Bill,
The water drop ? I'm not sure what it is, we had no rain for a week, so I kind of thought it might be something it produced itself, like flies do ?
Maybe someone could enlighten me, as I just dont know.
Cheers John, it's a damn fine lens so thank you 👍👍👍
Ahh Joe, my grass stained knees will testify to the lack of fridges
I've had to change my way of shooting since using the bellows, as next to no light comes through to the viewfinder. Rear screen is a must now, so focus peaking certainly helps, I often miss shots because of the time it takes to focus and try to match my movements with the breeze. With a dof that's only mm's in depth it's more than a little tricky. But it's so rewarding too.
The locals are all well used to seeing me rooting around in ditches and bushes at this stage

Super intro into the background of these,
Then you're met with a visual banquet of cracking images, until you get to 13,
That no 13 is one impactful image, movement, lines, light, colour, composition. Simply stunning.
5 through to 16 for me with 13 being my stand out pick.
I'm not jealous much, honestly
