I have registered for a landscape photography workshop. One item that they strongly recommend that I bring is a set of graduated neutral density filters, one 2 stop and one 4 stop. One of my lenses is a Tokina 11-16mm ultrawide. I am concerned about vignetting with this lens. Before I buy anything, does anyone have any suggestions for a system that will work with this lens?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at the NISI system, available through B&H. I have done a lot of research and decided on the NISI S6 which is a 150mm wide system to control vignetting on the full frame 14mm lens. NISI filters are fabricated from optical quality glass, the cheaper filters and some of the higher end filters are are fabricated with plastics. The NISI S6 system comes with a circular polarizer(three different options available) Talk to someone at B&H about the NISI S6 neutral density/graduated neutral density filter system. My order is to be delivered on the 12th, this month. Also ask B&H about the NISI V6 system(100mm wide filters system for your lens). If it would work for your Tokina, the NISI V6 system is less expensive, compared to the NISI S6 system. The holder can be ordered without a polarizer if necessary and added later if funds are not available at this time. I wish you well, George
