More Zuiko shots! All on a Canon 6D. Definitely jealous of Dan's 20 f/2 macro - I think it would be a great lightweight option for high mag field macro shots, especially paired with the Olympus telescoping extension tubes. Oly sure had the best macro gear back in the day.
What was your setup as far as your ND filter. I have the zuiko hood/step up ring for my 18/3.5 and I tried a 72mm haida flared so much my pictures with it are worthless and I wasn't shooting near the sun. I tried with ND filter on polarizer, and just ND filter. Any suggestions? Is it the brand, or the filter size is too small?

A few shots from a recent trip to Hawaii. First is 18/3.5 and the next two are 24/2.8.
Never mind, I figured it out. I have a light leak on my Fotodiox pro Zuiko/E adapter that shows itself in long exposures with strong daylight. Apparently it is a common problem for Fotodiox adapters. I've noticed that it is a touch loose from the moment I received it, which may contribute to the problem.
I think I shall contact Fotodiox.

Yeah, I own an A7 but used a Canon 6D for these shots as I also have light leak issues with the A7. This is with a Lee square filter setup. Not sure if is the adapter or camera in the case of the A7, but I use a generic OM to E adapter. It does fit very tightly to the lens and camera body.

I haven't actually tested for a light leak, but I think I am wrong and it is not a light leak, but the adapter has bad internal reflections, I'll have to test more. Anyhow, I think I need to balance my lack of image posts, I'll try to get some images in this thread soon.
