The LEE 100mm System has a couple of essential elements you'll need to use our filters, and a wide range of optional accessories that give total flexibility.

At the core of the LEE Filters system is the holder, which comes assembled with two filter slots but can easily be adapted to take up to four filters.

The holder is designed to be compatible with 100mm filters – our standard width. To fit the holder to the lens, an adaptor ring is required.

There are two types of LEE Filter adaptor ring:
one for general use, and one for wide-angle lenses.

Holder Versatility

The LEE Filters holder has been designed with almost every photographic eventuality and combination in mind.

Up to four filters of different types can be used in one holder. For instance you could combine Neutral Density and Warm-up Filters to respond to a specific lighting situation. Or if you shoot black and white you might select a red filter plus a Neutral Density Standard to darken blue skies and slow down the exposure.

Crucially, once fitted to the adaptor ring, the holder can be rotated to any angle. This permits the photographer to balance the exposure even when the brightest areas fall, say, within the top left hand 'triangle' of the scene.

How the holder is constructed?

1. Fit the back cover plates to the back plate
2. Fit the filter holder guides to the back cover plates.
   Up to four guides, or slots, can be used with one holder.
3. Fit the front cover plates to the filter holder guides.

The adaptor ring screws onto the camera's lens and, in turn, the filter holder clips onto the adaptor ring.

The adaptor ring screws onto the lens with a fluid action, thanks to the sturdy construction and Aluminium screw thread.

Wide-angle adaptor ring

The wide-angle adaptor ring is suitable for use with wide-angle lenses. It differs from the standard adaptor ring by sitting closer to the front element of the camera's lens. As a result, the likelihood of vignetting is dramatically reduced.

All LEE Filters lens hoods are self-supporting – a feature unique to us. This means, quite simply, they have no need for rails or guides in order to be adjusted or maintain their structure.

As a result, they are compact and light, so don't become a hindrance to the landscape photographer who prefers to travel light.

The Wide-angle Hood

The much larger bellows that are a characteristic of the Wide-angle Hood mean it can be used in conjunction with wide or very large lenses – reducing the chances of vignetting that would arise if a standard hood were to be used.
