Lee Filters

I recently invested in a Lee 100x100 filter system. However the 100x150mm grads are too deep to fit on the front of my Horseman 45FA. I'm not going to take a knife to them and will put them aside for the future time when I have a larger camera. Meanwhile, can anyone recommend a source of good quality ND grads (0.6, hard and soft) in 100x100mm size?

Thanks

I use the Lee polyester filters in their plastic frames, which fit nicely into the holders built into the compendium shade/filter holder assembly. I believe I bought them through Calumet, but I'm not sure how much that helps you there in Aus.

Hi Stewart,

What are the lenes and filter sizes of the lenses that you are using/will use with the camera?

If the filter size does not exceed 82mm and the camera has sufficient clearance, you may want to consider the Cokin P size holder. Lee and Singh-Ray make extremely high quality resin filters (including Grad ND) in the 84mm X 120mm (Cokin P) size for this filter system. Additionally, Singh-Ray makes a glass Warm Polarizing filter to fit the rear of the Cokin P Holder that allows it to rotate in the rear slot of the holder. Both Lee and Singh-Ray also offer many other filters both 84mm X 84mm and graduated (and non graduated) 84mm X 120mm for the Cokin P holder.

Another possibility is to contact Lee and ask if they could make the grad filters for you in the 100mm X 100mm size, but that will limit your ability to adjust the position of the gradation.

Good luck.

I should have said that I already have the Cokin P system which is on the small side for my 90mm lens and my 612/617 backs, especially the polariser. Hence upgrading to Lee. It was a real "doh" moment when I realised that the grads were too deep.
