it works perfectly - a 67mm polariser + 49/67mm step-up + Kood UV ring causes no vignetting at F8 or smaller apertures, likewise the Kood UV + adaptor with the Lee holder (2 slots) causes no vignetting at F8 or smaller
That's great to know Simon - really really useful info

Of course, your next challenge is to get it working with BOTH a polariser AND the ND grads , although I guess that might mean shelling out a (not so small)fortune for the Lee polariser :

Top quality images as usual there, they seem to just jump of the page with an almost 3d like quality.
+1. Really excellent stuff.

Nice set. I particularly like the two shots of trunks reflecting in the water.

Really interesting to see your new Siggy in action

Now Lightroom 4 has been out a while, a question for those who have upgraded and got used to it.

Are the changes to the processing version (PV2012) alone worth upgrading for?

I am unlikely to need the new video stuff or book module etc, so before shelling out my £60 just want re-assurance that the changes to the development module are all they are cracked up to be...

I second the comments here - particularly that using primes encourages you to think more about composition. I actually find that when using primes I tend to think about the *whole* process of image capture more seriously, not just composition.

The availability of compact, really high quality primes sucked me into Pentax in the first place. Nothing available elsewhere quite like the Ltd lenses - just a joy to use

Just in case anyone else is thinking about the Lee system I bought the WA adaptor and good job too, there's very slight vignetting at F4 only - that's with two filter slots fitted to the holder
That's useful to know - thanks Simon. Will you be using the system with any of your other lenses (esp. 12-24)? If so, would be good to hear about any other vignetting issues.

Look forward to seeing the results of your investment

Congratulations Tim. Looks a predictably stunning exhibition given your track record of excellence.

Probably no consolation if you are still suffering from seven frantic days getting it all together, but having it thrust upon you like this must at least concentrate the mind (and the pain :wink.
