I've been using Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters for a while now for my landscape photography, and I absolutely love the system. I've used it exclusively on my D810 until now and have never had any issues to date.
This morning I tried it for the first time on my Fuji X-T20 and ran into a major issue that I can't seem to diagnose on my own. I was out shooting this foggy scene just before sunrise:
1.) This photo is taken with the CPL filter only.

I noted that the sky was significantly brighter than the foreground so I added a 0.6 reverse grad ND filter for the next shot (only grad filter I had with me)
2.) This was the result with the grad on. Same exposure settings. Same while balance. Same everything, other than the filter.

Both images are SOOC jpegs with no editing applied. Raw files appear similar, so it isn't a problem with the jpeg engine.
I've never noticed a color cast with this filter and I've used it a bunch of times. This was the first time using it on an x-trans sensor though.. could it somehow just not work well with that sensor format or something? Or is it just way too strong of a filter for this scene and the severe underexposure is revealing a cast?
