While this will hold an X-Pro holder on the lens, there are a couple of problems. The foremost is light entering the gap between the lens and ring from behind, any kind of light, it doesn't have to be bright. Two large arcs appear on the filter. I was caught unawares and had to cup my hands around the adapter and lens while trying to press a remote release. I definitely have to make some sort of shroud for it. Also, the way the lens hood is designed, you have to get the screws of this thing right at the very edge of the short petals, leads to it easily falling off it you're not really careful.The biggest drawback to this is the cost. $200 something for this, and another $100 for the holder. Plain ND filters are about $100. A circular polarizer is $800. Cokin discontinued filters over 4 stops, I think they used to have 5, 7, and 10, so I'll have to buy 2 4 stop filters, can't go higher than that because there are only 2 slots in the holder. Better quality filters are about $300 for a straight ND.
If I had it all over again, I would just invest in a quality wide angle lens, like a 16-35, it would be cheaper in the long run. Unfortunately, I was very busy, and before I found all this out it was beyond the return period.
