Product Information

Full details

This LEE Filters Wide Angle Adaptor Ring is designed for photographers using wide-angle lenses with an 82mm filter thread who need to attach LEE's 100mm filter holders without experiencing vignetting. Its primary benefit is enabling the use of wider lenses with the filter system by positioning the holder closer to the lens. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for the 100mm system and may not be compatible with other filter sizes.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this adapter ring?

Its main purpose is to allow the use of the LEE 100mm filter holder system with wide-angle lenses (that have an 82mm filter thread) without causing vignetting, by positioning the holder closer to the lens.

Will this adapter work with my 77mm lens?

No, this specific adapter is designed for lenses with an 82mm filter thread. LEE offers other wide-angle adapter rings for different lens thread sizes, such as 77mm.

Can I use this with filters other than the LEE 100mm system?

No, this adapter is specifically designed to connect the LEE 100mm filter holder system to your lens. It does not accommodate other filter sizes or systems.

How do I attach the filter holder to the adapter?

Once the adapter ring is screwed onto your lens, align the LEE 100mm filter holder with the adapter's quick-release mechanism and push it on until it clicks into place. A spring-loaded mechanism ensures a secure fit.

Is the adapter ring made of metal?

Yes, the adapter ring features an aluminum screw thread for durability and a reliable connection.

What should I do if I notice dark corners in my photos?

First, ensure the adapter is properly screwed onto your 82mm lens and the 100mm filter holder is securely attached to the adapter. If the issue persists, double-check that you are using the correct adapter size for your lens and that the lens is indeed a wide-angle lens where this adapter is most beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Adapter ring is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Ensure you are using an 82mm lens and that the adapter's threads are clean and free of debris. Try gently rocking the adapter as you screw it on. Do not force it.

Filter holder does not attach securely to the adapter.

Verify that the adapter is fully screwed onto the lens and that the filter holder is properly aligned with the quick-release mechanism. Ensure the spring-loaded clips on the holder are functioning correctly.

Vignetting still occurs despite using the adapter.

Confirm that the adapter ring is the correct 82mm size for your lens and that you are using a LEE 100mm filter holder. Ensure the filter holder is fully seated on the adapter. In extreme ultra-wide-angle situations, even this adapter may not completely eliminate all vignetting.
