    I find that the standard Lee hood when it is fully collapsed does not vignette when it is attached to a Schneider Super Symmar 80XL lens with a Lee wide-angle adapter ring.

    Of course, the hood...

    Which 4x4" polarizer filter for Lee system?

    Yeah, I have resigned myself to not being able to rotate a square polarizer independently of an ND grad filter. For me, being able to use a hood with the polarizer is more important.
