Setup / Align Grad Filters on a Rangefinder camera

Contributor: Matt Lauder

Category: Film Lovers

When you don't have the ability to look through the lens on rangefinder cameras such as a Fuji or Linhof 617 panoramic, your knowledge of how graduated filters need to be aligned can be critical to getting that correct exposure.

In this tutorials we cover the correct setting up of your Lee Filter kit and then the thoughts behind the alignment and set up of the graduated filters to give you the best result each time without the use of a ground glass.

The camera we use in this tutorial is the Fuji GX617 but the same principle can be used on any panoramic or rangefinder camera system.
