In fact taking a shot with a wider lens, thus allowing for some leeway in the Post Pro stage actually gives you more room to to think about the composition and crop accordingly. but anyway if people want to self flagellate and feel that helps them then I'm not going to dissuade them.

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
Look forward to seeing the results of your investment
I plan to use it will all my wider lenses so have ordered WA adaptors for the 12-24 and the DA15mm I've just received today

I happen to believe that they encourage better composition - by making it less easy, and forcing the photographer to think more. This view is disputed in certain quarters, but those quarters may safely be ignored.

I think it's useful to probably have a combination of both primes and zooms as both offer distinct benefits in different situations

As a matter of interest, what filters is he suggesting you use? I would guess a grad., but I thought sensors had a built-in UV filter.

I did get the impression that while he does shoot digital he's still mainly using medium format - he took a few "scouting" shots with an LX5 while were were out though. I think he's still finding his own feet with digital by the sound of things and didn't have a digital DSLR body with him, just the LX5 and his medium format gear (which he never removed from his bag).
He's a very interesting guy and the link between his photography and his love for nature/the environment was evident throughout the workshop. Just as interesting was that he hardly spoke about camera bodies, lenses etc etc - he's certainly not obsessive about camera equipment as many seem to be these days (me included from time to time!!)
