Tamron's new 24-70mm f2.8 VC

[Cheesecake]

Who bought Lee filters for this lens? How many stops did you buy? I have the 0.6 for 77mm & intend to buy the 0.9 for this lens..any feedback?

Bro rodz, get the big stopper for ur wide lens.

0.6 is such a waste..i shld get the 0.9 instead..

U using which one?

I'm just started to learn to use the GND. got a set of 0.3,0.6 and 0.9 from HiTech. i don't think is a waste of $$, you can stack 2 to 3 filters together using your 0.6
Big stopper is good investment for landscape and water photography. Lee foundation kit is good.

i bought the hitech ND filter set, 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9.

i also bought the ND 1.2 seperately.

i pair them up from time to time with my Lee Big Stopper.



i use them on my 16-35 f4.
i shoot plenty of landscapes!

you should probably consider a good wide angle lens that can take in the Lee Big Stopper. the EF17-40 f4 seems like a fine choice.

not sure if there's any 82mm filter holder for your tammy lens in stock leh... you might have to check with TK Foto.

I bought the Lee foundation kit and humtum on the Big Stopper, along with the GND filters and ND filters.

in the end, i sold the GND filters and kept the ND filters. in fact, i even went and bought the 1.2 ND. i lust after long exposure in bright daylight la.


hmmm... for the 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 ND Filters, it really depends on the situation and your own application. no right or wrong. there are times when i stack 3 filters with the big stopper but if you do so, the IQ will degrade la. probably stacking 2 filters and the big stopper is the max, for me at least.




if u're into landscape, then you can consider getting the Big Stopper and the 77mm filter holder for your 17-40 f4 la.

i'm not so sure if the tammy 24-70 as a landscape lens as it probably isn't wide enough, for me at least! :bsmilie:

Wah. $$ gao gao. lol.
For the filters, you do no need to buy all together immediately. Those are pretty expensive to invest.
there are some cheaper version you can look at in ebay. they come in a package with holder and all the different adapters and much cheaper than local shop sell. i just ordered a set and cost me only about $30. here is selling like $80. :what:
once you know which specific filters you need, it's easlier than.

In life, you will encounter many doors. Some doors are open, some are shut. Only one door leads to life and few there be that go in there...

Composite of 2 shots: one to correctly expose the first red doors (in shadow), the other for the background to be correctly exposed (in sunlight),
then corrected for distortions (barrel for the doors, then parallax to straighten them vertically):
