Folks, hello

I am wanting to buy a Lee compendium shade, but cannot establish which one I need. There is a standard one, wide angle version, some with one or two filter slots..

I already have a Lee holder which I use on my lenses with the various adaptor rings (mainly neutral grey grads).

I have a 90mm f4.5 Grandagon up to a 210mm.

Does anyone know if I am going to need the standard or wide-angle version?

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

I have the wide angle one. I use it with a lot of my lenses, but got it because I have a 90 mm Nikkor f/4.5.

I think mine has two filter slots. I have used both of them simultaneously. It fits the way I work. I'd say that it is up to how you work on which one you need.

I have both but always grab the standard. If I was shooting banquet I would use the wide. If you are using the filter holder behind the shade, it will be the thing that chops into the shot not the compendium.
