I'm new to large format and I have just started to use my Master Technika in the field, and when trying use a grad filter I ran into a problem.
How do you go about using your lee grad filters with the adapter rings and a Lee hood on the Linhof Master Technika? When i tried using my lee grad filters, the linhof's fold-out lid impedes the travel distance grad filter, and I cant place the grad filter into position without bottoming out. This was simply me resting the grad filter in front of the lens. I haven't tried using the adapter ring yet as i need to get suitable filter adapter rings at different sizes.
I suspect the option is to lower the lid like as if you are using a wide-angle lens, then raise/tilt the front lens back to position. However that would take away some of the adjustment range doing this.
What do you do in this case, are there alternative methods?
