Matty Westside
I picked up the Lee Seven5 filter system over the holidays and was finally able to get out and play with it this past weekend. The entire setup is extremely easy to use although I am running into a problem with the soft grad using the EVF. The EVF will constantly adjust brightness so I couldn't really tell where the filter started/ended. The second day of shooting I used the rear screen, but in bright mid-day sun that's no easier. Any pointers for those that have used this set up would be greatly appreciated.
First test shot with just the 0.9 soft grad
Decided to drive up PCH Saturday afternoon to test everything out in the middle of the day.
All shots with x100s + Big Stopper + 0.9 Soft ND Grad. Shot RAW, ISO 200, f8 or f11, built-in ND filter on, exposures anywhere from 45 seconds to 115 seconds between 1 and 3:30pm.

C&C always welcome and appreciated. While the Big Stopper is a lot of fun to play with, I definitely see getting a lot more use out of the 0.9 soft ND grad. Makes a huge difference in transition from sky to the ground.
Cheers,
