Tom
Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but I use the same Lee holder system and I also have their glass polarizer that you mentioned. Last weekend I shot this image.
http://www.pbase.com/al_b/image/77425967/original

I used my 17-35AFS Nikon lens with this image with a 2 stop hard grad + warming polarizer and then finally the polarizer stacked in the holder. As long as you place the polarizer in the last postion I have not experience any vignetting in stacking filters.

I went outside just now and took both of these shots, tripod mounted with a polarizer and 8-stop vari-ND attached to lengthen the exposure before slapping on a 3-stop GND.


These photos are the GOLD standard of this genre. Congratulations Marc.


Marc,

I have been looking for the answer to this question for quite a while now and this looks like my best shot for a solution to my query. I use a Canon 5D with a Canon 17-40 when shooting landscapes. I use a Lee filter system and I have a 3 stop hard a 3 stop soft and a 2 stop soft GND filter in my current collection. Here is the question in which an answer thus far has eluded me. I want to use a circular polarizer at the same time I have the GND on the lens. Lee sells a circ pol filter that is 105mm. Marc, I see that you used a vari-ND, a circ pol, and a 3 stop GND......all at the same time!!! I would love to do this.....but......before investing in the equipment..........I was under the impression that vignetting would be very dramatic on the photos with all of those stacked filters. If you can tell me from first hand experience that a multifilter set-up such as the one you used does not cause vignetting.....then I am going to place the order asap. I have asked the question in other forums and have literally received no answers.

Thank you Marc.



Mark didn't want to hijack your thread. Love the result of both of these images and have made a note to experiment on moving the filter quickly into shooting into the sun to compare the results. Al B

Tom, when shooting full frame at 17mm, my Hoya HMC Pro wide angle polarizer will not vignette - and it's a very fine piece of glass - I definitely recommend it. However, I didn't shoot those test frames at 17mm. A screw-on multi-filter system will vignette when used on a full frame 17mm.


I so appreciate your response to my question Marc. Your work has been an inspiration and yours thoughts and advice are important to me.

Thank you.

Two very beautiful photos containing the very essence of this part of the PNW. The discussion in the thread is extremely interesting also. Thank you. :)

Well I am not going to praise these too much, needless to say they are completely immaculate in every way and one day I will buy a print or two! Your work is really something to aspire to.
