Product Information

Full details

The LEE Filters 105mm Front Holder Ring is for photographers using LEE's 100mm filter system who need to integrate a 105mm threaded accessory, such as a polarizer. Its key benefit is enabling independent rotation of a 105mm polarizer in front of other filters, crucial for precise landscape and long-exposure shots. A caveat is that the 105mm polarizer itself is not included with the ring.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the LEE Filters 105mm Front Holder Ring?

Its primary purpose is to allow the attachment of a 105mm threaded accessory, most commonly a polarising filter, to the front of a LEE 100mm filter holder system. This enables independent rotation of the polarizer.

Does this product include a 105mm polariser?

No, the LEE Filters 105mm Front Holder Ring only provides the mounting mechanism. The 105mm rotating polariser must be purchased separately.

Can I use this with any filter holder?

This ring is specifically designed to fit onto LEE Filters' 100mm standard filter holder system, such as the Foundation Kit.

How does this differ from a standard 100mm polariser?

A standard 100mm polariser would be a square filter that sits within the filter holder slots. This 105mm accessory allows you to use a round, threaded polariser that attaches to the front of the holder, offering independent rotation and often a wider range of adjustment.

Is this necessary for all landscape photographers?

It is most beneficial for landscape photographers who use LEE's 100mm system and require precise control over reflections and sky saturation using a 105mm threaded polariser, especially in conjunction with other filters like graduated NDs for long exposures.

How do I clean the Front Holder Ring?

Clean it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.

What kind of accessories can I attach besides a polariser?

You can attach any 105mm threaded accessory, though a polariser is the most common application. Lens hoods designed for 105mm threads could also potentially be used.

Troubleshooting

Ring does not attach securely to the filter holder.

Ensure you are using a compatible LEE Filters 100mm holder and that the ring's mounting points are clean and free of debris. Verify the ring is correctly aligned before attempting to secure it.

Difficulty screwing in a 105mm accessory.

Check the threads on both the ring and the accessory for any damage or obstruction. Gently try to thread the accessory, ensuring it is not cross-threaded.

Accessory seems loose after attachment.

Confirm that the accessory is fully screwed into the 105mm holder ring and that the ring itself is securely attached to the main filter holder.
