FAQs

What is the purpose of the LEE Filters Adapter Ring?

The adapter ring serves as a crucial interface, allowing you to attach the LEE85 filter holder to the front of your camera lens.

How do I know which size adapter ring to buy?

You need to check the filter thread size on the front of your lens. This is typically marked with a diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number and 'mm' (e.g., ø52mm). Match this number to the adapter ring size.

Are these adapter rings compatible with all LEE filter systems?

No, the LEE85 Adapter Rings are specifically designed for use with the LEE85 filter holder system.

Can I use this adapter ring with any lens?

You can use it with any lens that has a compatible filter thread size on its front element. You must purchase the ring that precisely matches your lens's thread size.

What material is the adapter ring made of?

The adapter ring is constructed with a sturdy aluminium screw thread.

Will this adapter ring cause vignetting on my wide-angle lens?

The LEE85 Adapter rings are designed to be wide-angle. However, on extremely wide focal lengths, some minor vignetting might occur depending on the lens. They are engineered to minimize this issue.

How should I clean the adapter ring?

Clean the adapter ring with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, use a cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Adapter ring is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Ensure you have selected the correct thread size for your lens. Do not force the ring; if it feels stuck or cross-threaded, remove it carefully and re-align before attempting to screw it on again. Check the lens threads for any debris.

Filter holder does not attach securely to the adapter ring.

Verify that the adapter ring is fully and correctly screwed onto the lens. Ensure there are no obstructions on the connection points of both the adapter ring and the filter holder. Consult the LEE85 filter holder manual for proper attachment procedures.

Visible vignetting in wide-angle shots.

Confirm that the adapter ring is indeed the wide-angle version. While designed for wide-angle lenses, extreme wide-angle focal lengths might still show slight vignetting depending on the specific lens and camera combination. Ensure the filter holder is also properly aligned.
