First shots with the Fuji X-T1 and the Lee Big Stopper | Alessio Michelini
As I’m trying to use my sparkling new Fuji X-T1 as my main camera for when I travel, I’m trying to test it to use it in various scenarios, and one of the them is long exposures. So last week I bought from my trusty shop (Connscameras btw), the 67mm adaptor ring, so I could mount my Lee Big Stopper on the tiny Samyang 12mm f/2 lens (which I reviewed a while ago and I think it’s a little great lens), the only landscape lens I have for the moment for the Fuji X System, I tried this weeked to go out and take photos, but the outcome hasn’t been great, not because of the gear, but because I had shi… awful light and the place wasn’t that great either. Btw, in that occasion I did try again my other ND filter, the Light Craft Workshop Fader ND Mk II (and part 2), which is great if you only shoot from 35mm and over, but completely crap under 35mm. I wanted to give him a second chance, I thought that maybe with a smaller lens that uses a smaller section it filter, it might work. No, it doesn’t, it’s still a piece of crap, don’t buy it if you want to use it with ultra wide lenses……
