There seems just an ever so slight difference between the Phase One 28 and the Mamiya 28D to cause the Lee SW150 not to fit as tight as it should. All isn’t lost if you don’t mind spending time and applying gaffers tape as I just finished doing.
The great news is that I can now use any filter I want so long as its 150mm. I’ve been able to tighten the adaptor ring to the point there’s no more wobble and while I would have preferred not to use tape to tighten things up it does work.
Here’s three test images done with the adaptor ring in place, then with the filter hold and finally the kit filter. Checking these out on a 30” monitor I fail to see any vignette on the first two and think there’s a slight possibility on the last using the filter however I’m really not certain due to the subject matterand filter used.
In short – I like it a lot! I wish this kit has been available in 2006 when the first 28mm was released as it would have made my life so much easier.
