Yes - #2 is the standout. I agree about the shadows in #1 but ye-gods what scenery!

Really enjoying the gradual unveiling of photos from your trip. Green eyed monster ahoy

Couldn't make my mind up this year about the new format of 'Masterchief. But I think 'The Great British Menu' has definitely Jumped the Shark.

Actually Bernard, I think you've blown the 'pointless' bit of this thread.

Nothing could be more important than this....

Welcome Dave

Yes - the 40 Ltd certainly is an eye opener. It's got me going with Ltd LBA... which your comments about the 70 don't help

Thanks again to everyone for contributions - really useful

I've decided to try Jules' screw-in grad solution, and have just ordered the one-stop from Hilton (the two stop wasn't in stock, which given the cost is probably a good thing until I've played with the first one!).

Depending on how I get on with this I could end up looking again at some sort of square filter system but (as per Matt's post) the main reason I'm investing in the Ltds is for portability... so I suspect even if it's not perfect I'll end up taking the screw-in out routinely on hikes etc, which is when I'm doing most of my photography at the moment.

I think #2 (backlit fern) and the last one are the best of these images.

ps. They're a bit big for my screen - can't see all of them without scrolling up and down. You might want to reduce size slightly

For the Lenses you've got and I'm thinking of the 21mm here try em out before you buy!
I love my screw ins, no going back now, fits all the Ltd's and the holders built in!
I had a HI-Tech (Formatt) System and found it unworkable/PITA
Thanks Jules

I assume your screw ins are soft grads? It's not totally clear from the Hilton website....

Thanks Stefan

Do you know if this system fits the DA21 without vignetting? And is there a way to fit it onto the DA15mm (with its built in petal hood)?

Cheers
