HAIDA 150mm Filter Solution for CANON TS-E 17mm F4

One of my favor len, Canon EF TS-E 17mm F4 … it give sharpness, clarify that I love especially pair with new CANON EOS 5d/5Dsr.

The design of this Len limit ourselves to use filter which is my prefer way to shoot landscape … so I start with Order – Lee Filter Adapter Ring for TS-E 17mm. 

but due to it’s limitation of shift, it may not perfect solution . I still use this as it can use all my existing 100mm square filters.

TSE17mm ring fb

 

recently, Both Lee Filters and Haida provided better solution for CANON TS-E 17mm len. which is 150mm square filter solution. After long wait, finally I have a chance to test the HAIDA 150mm filter solution for TSE17mm. so this is another set of filters, yes real big to be easy handling which is 150mm width ….

but it do allow us without tilt but shift to max on both left-right/top-bottom…..

*** I do not share any higher than ISO1600 as we can see the quality have been drop since ISO800 … and I think I would limit my use ~1600 for important photo.

 

Overall , here are some different for me .. (for landscape photography concern)

1. 5Dsr weight ~845 gram vs ~625 gram

2. tilt screen on SONY A7r2

3. Battery life 5Dsr is longer but it is different size

4. both ISO performance about the same (without noise reduction) , 5Dsr have slight more noise and details over ISO800 and about same for under ISO800

5. Shadow and high recovery both perform same .. 100% shadow recovery show acceptable result .

6. SONY seem lost orange/red tone , give more cold color

7. both give good details , and at highlight area CANON give more info

1. why do we need wider

2. why do we need filters

as other landscape photographer … we need GND for have both sky and foreground exposure balance

no filter, so sky over expose

 

–> we can now have GND , Gradual Neutral Density filter to have the sky well expose
