Product Information

Full details

The LEE Filters 105mm Landscape Polarising Filter is designed for landscape photographers, especially those using wide-angle lenses on full-frame DSLRs. Its primary benefit is reducing reflections and enhancing colors, particularly greens and blues, for more vibrant outdoor shots. A key consideration is its specific 105mm size, requiring compatibility with your lens or adapter system.

FAQs

What is a polarising filter used for?

A polarising filter reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and can also deepen blue skies and enhance color saturation.

Why is this filter described as 'landscape' polarising?

It features a subtle warm tint designed to enhance the natural greens, blues, and browns often found in landscape photography, making these colors appear richer and more vibrant.

Can I use this filter with my wide-angle lens?

Yes, this filter has an ultra-slim design specifically to minimize or eliminate vignetting (dark corners) when used with wide-angle lenses, including 17mm on full-frame cameras.

How do I adjust the polarizing effect?

The outer ring of the filter rotates independently. Slowly rotate this ring while looking through your viewfinder or at your camera's LCD screen to achieve the desired level of reflection reduction and color enhancement.

What is the benefit of the warm tint?

The warm tint adds a subtle boost to colors like green, blue, brown, and gold, making landscape scenes appear more appealing and saturated without looking unnatural.

Does this filter reduce light entering the camera?

Yes, like all polarising filters, it reduces light by approximately 1 to 1.5 stops. You will need to compensate for this by increasing your exposure time or adjusting your aperture/ISO.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a soft lens brush or compressed air to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges, use a clean microfiber lens cloth with a small amount of specialized lens cleaning solution.

Troubleshooting

Filter causes vignetting (dark corners)

Ensure you are using a compatible wide-angle lens or that your step-up ring is not excessively thick. The slim design is intended to prevent this, but extreme wide angles may still show some effect.

No noticeable change in reflections or color

The filter may not be correctly aligned. Rotate the outer ring of the polarizer slowly while viewing through the lens or on your camera's screen to find the angle that most effectively reduces reflections and enhances colors.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens

Check for cross-threading by backing the filter off and trying again gently. Ensure the lens threads are clean and that you are using the correct 105mm size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents vignetting with wide-angle lenses.
  • Significantly reduces unwanted reflections and glare.
  • Enhances natural colors for landscape photography.
  • Improves sky contrast and definition.
  • Slim profile is ideal for multi-filter setups.

Cons

  • Fixed 105mm thread size requires compatible lenses or step-up rings.
  • The warm tint may not be suitable for all lighting conditions or subject matter.
  • Requires careful rotation to achieve the desired polarizing effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Compatibility: This filter features a 105mm screw-in thread. Ensure your lens has a 105mm front filter thread. If your lens has a different thread size, you can use compatible step-up rings to adapt it. For use with filter systems like the LEE Filters' SW150 system, you may need a specific adapter. Always attach the filter to the lens before any other screw-in filters or hoods, unless using a specific lens hood designed to accommodate it.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the filter regularly. Use a soft lens brush or compressed air to remove loose dust and debris. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glass coatings. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use.
