and is both compact and easy-to-use. It's perfect for any kind of photography on-the-go, especially handheld.
The LEE85 System offers complete creative freedom with a wide range of filters including Neutral Density Grads, long exposure Stoppers and a clip-on Polariser. The Holder can be used with up to three filter slots
plus the Polariser.
The locking dial enables the Holder to be securely attached to the Adaptor Ring and rotated freely or locked at a specific angle.
Holder can be rotated and quickly removed from the Adaptor Ring.

The LEE85 Holder is highly versatile and (just like the LEE100 System Holder) can be configured with 1, 2 or 3 filter slots using the included modular guide blocks.
LEE85 Graduated and Standard ND filters feature clearly labelled grip tabs. These increase the visible area and keep fingerprints off the filter zone.
The LEE85 Polariser simply clicks onto the Holder (either on or off the camera) and can then be precisely rotated for just the right degree of polarisation.
With the sturdy LEE85 System Pouch your entire LEE85 filter system is close-to-hand when you need it.
The System Pouch holds a LEE85 Holder, Polariser and up to 4 filters and is made from a tough and durable fabric that stands up to wear and tear.

All our LEE85 Kits come with three common size Adaptor Rings, enabling the Holder to be attached to a wide range of popular lenses out-of-the-box.
Full range of Adaptor Rings available separately: 37mm, 37.5mm, 39mm, 40mm, 40.5mm, 43mm, 46mm, 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 60mm, 62mm, 67mm and 72mm.
The area of transition of a LEE100 ND Grad will appear bigger, extending over more of the scene, on a crop sensor camera than on a full frame sensor.
This effectively makes the grad "softer", preventing precise alignment and giving markedly different results when compared to its effect on a full frame camera.
One solution is to select a harder grad, for instance instead of a LEE100 ND Hard Grad select a Very Hard.
ND Grads for the LEE85 system have tighter areas of transition than those for the LEE100 or SW150 Systems. This results in a comparable effect between a LEE100 Grad on a full frame camera and a LEE85 Grad on a mirrorless camera with a crop sensor.

Note: Lens focal length can also affect results - with a longer lens making the grad appear softer.
