I’m pleased the figure is included – gives a sense of scale! Wonderful as always Mel.
Matt Penfold
Wow Mel, that is so good, I’m dreaming about having some ND grad filters one day. Does the front of your lens rotate with the focus like the canon kit lenses or do your filters stay stationary?
Mel Brackstone replied
Thanks Matt, the front of the 16-35mm is stationary….
