I've made a more neutral version, more like I would expect the colour to be in this sort of scene.

Ken has already posted some details about his experiences. I'll move this thread to the mirrorless forum, where you'll also find his conclusions.

Foliage moves quite a bit so a faster shutter speed will lead to sharper images.

You've explained your methodology, but not what the purpose of all this is?

Squeezing the filter too hard will deform it and that makes it much more difficult to remove. The Marigold idea is sound. There are also special filter removal grips that hold the pressure equally all round the rim.

Most of these images are very soft, hardly anything in focus. Looking at the two stubs the A lens is crisper than the K lens and the Cosina somewhere in between. I think you'd have to live with these for a while because focusing is ultra critical and also getting the right image to use such as wide aperture effectively is a bit tricky.

As an image, it's very calm and restful. Pleasant indeed.

In terms of colour, it's very, very yellow and this gives it a fantasy look, a long way from natural.
