Does anyone know the thickness of the Schneider platinum IRND filters? Are they 2mm thick and will they fit the Lee holder for 4x4 sized filters?
Thanks
Paul
Having 2mm and 4mm slots would certainly make for complexity and I'm not sure I can get my head around how many adapters I might need to make good use of wide angle lens hood, push on 100mm, standard adapter etc. let alone where to pack them in my bag.Thanks, I was hoping they would be 2mm like the Lee Glass ND filters.

I would shoot a colorchecker before the long exposure, that will give you a good start on a grey reference.
When I go with the 6 stop LEE ( I don't use the 10 stop very often), I am usually shooting water, so I have a "white" point in the water or "grey" point in the rocks that will be around. After applying the LCC, I then try to get a starting point by clicking on a subject in the photo with the WB tool in C1 or on a point on the colorchecker.

I use the Big Stopper and have no issues when I use a WhiBal card as a white balance reference. I then process with LCC as usual, but do not use that for white balance...

The Lee NH 0.9 glass filter is also excellent. I use it along with the 0.6. Neither of these show any color cast that I can see.
But as you mentioned the Heilopoan filters are excellent also.
I prefer the Lee setup since I can use the Lee wide angle hood also.

For my ALPA I have designed and made an adapter to hold the LEE wide angle hood without using the filter thread . So screw in filters are no issue for me , except the inconvenience to screws them on .I've used the Lee Big Stopper for years with no issues. Perhaps your getting stray light through the eye piece. Try shooting with the VF closed when shooting long exposure times.
There is no stray light as I use a technical camera with a OVF .
Thanks - I try my bestQuentin-
Always a good composition... Nicely done!
If it is IR contamination, then water and rocks are easy to correct. Foliage becomes much harder because of its IR response. And that changes with season and time of day.Correction is possible in post
