Colorshift with SinghRay ND-Grad filters

[herby]

In my DSLR-times I bought expensive SinghRay ND-grad filters to avoid any colorshift. It was worth the expenses. But with my X-T2 I have a serious colorshift to purple. It seems to be stronger in sunlite and weaker when it's overcast, but it's there.

Here is a picture as an example.

 

Has anybody experienced anything similar?

What do you use? Is it color-neutral?

 

Thanks for your contributions.

That is what I use and I have not noticed a color shift problem. To be completely honest, I have not used them with my X-T2 as of yet; only my X-Pro2 and previous X-T1.

I found this problem with my Singh-Ray and with B+W.  Fortunately a quick eye-dropper in LR fixes the cast -- I've also tried shooting in "daylight" not Auto WB and that seems to help.  Have you tried that?

The only ND-grad filters that do not color shift are the Formatt Hitech. My Lee and SinghRay don't work well in the X sensor. Formatt Firecrest work perfectly. Even 10 stop ND do not show color shift.

Thanks for your replies.

 

I can specify my problem a bit. ND-grad alone there is a weak color shift. In combination with a 6stop ND the color shift is very strong. ND-grad hard edge much stronger than ND-grad soft edge (both 3 stop grad).

 

to jlmphotos: could you please explain your quick lightroom fix? Because there is only a part of the picture affected the quick WB adjustment doesn't work.

 

to Fresno: thanks for your recommendation. Does it also work with combined ND and ND-grad?

 

Thanks in advance.

Try Nisi.

Thanks everybody for your recommendations. Some of them are not available in Europe.

 

Have anybody experience with a color neutral combination of ND (6stop or more) and ND-grad?

 

Thanks

Nisi.

Nisi.

Got my Nisi System today. It is almost neutral. Only the combination of ND 6Stop and ND-Grad Reverse 3Stop produce a very light colorshift. But this is acceptable.

 

Thanks for your hint.

Glad to hear that. I'm using Nisi almost exclusively nowadays. For a cheaper alternative, Haida is the one to go for.
