Interested to hear what filter sets the landscape guys use with the XT1 (or any Fuji model really)
I have a lee holder, 100x150 hard grads, hitech IRND 10 stop and a few other bits. Only have a 77mm adapter ring though currently.
I'm wondering if a 100mm kit is to big for a small body like the xT1. The whole point for me buying it is to keep the gear to a minimum. I have serious spinal/muscle/nerve issues and just can't carry lots of gear anymore, so lightness is a big issue. I know filters dont exactly weigh much but I wonder if I'd be better off with an 85mm set.
The camera is coming with the 35mmf/1.4, but I can't see me using that for landscapes much, so will be looking to buy either the 18-55 or possibly even something like the 16mm f/1.4 or maybe a samyang. Most likely will be the 18-55 though. Any one use 85mm filters with that set up?
Also thinking hard grads probably aren't all that helpful with a smaller sensor , so will need to get some soft grads anyway. I used to have a full set of soft 150's but sold them all as I never use them with the d700.
Would like a polariser too, that works with the filter system, guess it'll have to be a 105mm regardless of 150 or 85mm filter sizes?
Also need a new tripod head. I hate the off axis ball head on my gitzo, and also want an Arca Swiss compatible one. Needs to be cheap though!
