I am considering the following setup. Does this vignette with the lens wide open at 16mm?
Canon 5D II
Canon 16-35mm f2.8 L II
Lee 82mm WA Adaptor
Lee Foundation kit with two filter slots only
Lee 105mm front ring
B+W Kaseman 105mm MRC CPL
The adaptor,ring and CPL are on my Xmas wish list, but I want to make sure it's the right solution as it'll set poor Santa back a whopping £310.

Shouldnt as long as its just the Lee kit and youre not planning on stacking in with the CPL as well. But sorry, I dont have the Lee kit so I cant tell you from experience.

Definitely, you'll get very heavy vignetting wide open up to about 19mm or so, possibly 20mm. I use the Lee holder, and with two slots and polarizer ring installed, I get vignetting on my 5D2/17-40L up to about 19mm or so...gone at 20mm. I'd suspect the 16-35L would do the same. Then again, considering the size of the 5D2 files, you could probably crop out the vignetting in certain instances and not lose much (but not when wide open).
