What size Lee filter system is best for the Canon 24mm tilt shift lens (to allow full tilt and shift without vignetting)? Is 100x100 large enough? I'm new to both the filter system and lens, so any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a Canon 24mm tilt shift and use Hitech 100x150 ND Grads and solid 100x100mm ND's with no issues.

I have a Canon 24mm tilt shift (old version) and use Hitech filters in a Cokin P-holder (84mm wide I think) I have sawed off one of the three slots of the holder, leaving two. No vignetting problem.

Thank you, Buck and Eva!

Eva, is the reason for the 100x150 ND grad because of the need to adjust the position vertically?

No. Grads are usually longer in height to give you more latitude in adjusting where the split is in the frame.

Eva, thank you, that makes sense.
