Hello fellow photographers,
I hope you may have some suggestions how to use a lens shade.
I have been using a lens shade with a Linhof Technika.
I was using a 500mm lens, composed the picture with aperture wide open and focused to infinity, then added the lens shade, image was clear and shade did not seem to be in the way.
I stopped down the lens F64 and took the shot.
The lens shade perfectly cropped the image to square format. Needless to say that was not the expected result.
I assume it has to do with the different focus points - one very close and therefore out of sight and the other one far away in focus.
My question is:
Has any of you used the lens shade / compendium from Linhof and what is your strategy to use it without getting it in the way?
Thanks
Klaus
