Hi everyone,

Yesterday morning I re-visited one of my favourite local locations Chichester Cathedral again to take some test shots in readiness for the 950th anniversary son et lumier light show event later this month for which I have tickets. I wanted to test out my 12mm M.Zuiko f/2 lens, a lens that I don’t use as much as perhaps I should. Below a couple of my shots. In order to adapt it for use with my 58mm filters I fitted a 46-58mm step up ring and a 58mm tulip style lens hood with locking ring to lock the orientation which I had which doesn’t cause any vignetting and provides effective shading for the lens. Especially important as wide angle lenses are more prone to flare and I’ll be shooting in bright multi-directional lighting. It might look a bit odd, not that that bothers me, but it does the job nicely and is more effective than both the dedicated square metal lens hood and a much shallower circular metal wide-angle hood. 🙂 I also fitted one of my black mist filters but I’ll most likely use a lower power diffusion filter or maybe my shimmer diffuser filter for a less pronounced effect.

All the best,

Leigh
