Super Stopper - 100mm

The primary purpose is to drastically reduce the amount of light entering the lens (by 15 stops), enabling extremely long exposures in bright daylight and creating motion blur effects.

Yes, you need the Lee 100mm Filter Holder system, which is sold separately. The filter itself slots into this holder.

It extends exposure times significantly. For example, a 2-second exposure would become over 17 hours long when using the Super Stopper.

While technically possible, it's not recommended for general low-light photography as the extreme light reduction would necessitate prohibitively long exposure times. It's designed for bright conditions.

The Super Stopper is a neutral density filter designed to minimize color cast. However, with extremely long exposures, minor color shifts can occur, which can typically be corrected in post-processing.

Clean the glass with a soft microfiber lens cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to prevent scratching.

No, the Lee 100mm Filter Holder is a separate purchase and is required to use the Super Stopper filter.

Ensure the filter is seated correctly in the filter holder and that the holder is securely attached to the lens adapter. Check for any obstructions or damage to the filter or holder seals.

While the Super Stopper is designed for neutral density, slight color casts can occur with extreme exposure times. Post-processing in editing software can correct minor color shifts. Ensure the filter is clean.

Check that the filter holder is properly aligned and that there are no foreign objects in the filter slot. Handle the filter gently and avoid forcing it.
