Great product, well made, high quality. Highly recommend this for use with LEE filters. I use this on my canon EFS 10-22mm with the wide angle ring and there is simply no vinyetting.

The Lee Filter Holder is a three filter holder for the Lee system, and is foundational to using it. Lee make very high end photographic filters for professionals, and the boutique, premium filters which can be obtained from specialist manufacturers are generally designed to fit the Lee standard. In order to use this, you also need the relevant adaptor for your lens thread.
On the surface of it, this is one of the most unexciting pieces of kit you can add to your camera and you may baulk at the expense of adding something so plain. However, once you actually start using Lee equipment, the advantages over the Cokin Pro system immediately become visible. The filters are substantially better optical quality, are generally glass rather than plastic (though this means you have to take much more care of them), the range of additional accessories is better, including a true bellows hood, you can mount two of these foundation holders and therefore have filters at different angles, and, most importantly, the filters are much bigger.
I used Cokin Pro for about ten years. When I started using pro lenses, like the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens I immediately found that Cokin Pro was too small and caused vignetting, even on an Nikon 80-200Mm F2.8Ed Af Zoom Nikkor D, where you would expect there to be no problems. I thought long and hard before moving to Lee -- everything in the Lee series is much more expensive. However, in these days of Photoshop, you only need a handful of filters to do everything you need.... Read more ›

I was quite exited to receive the holder and filters (separate) due to so good reviews, but once opened and reviewed I can easily say: not as good as sounded to be.
Feels cheap, a bit, well, definitely not a something that is worth 100 quid. In fact, the adapter ring seemed to be much better quality than the holder, which is:
- "plastisch & feeling cheap"; I had to get rid of some plastic "scuffs" using fingers, looked like not cleaned from factory outlet
- the holder, for this price, could be more "solid" and have definitely smoother finish, it looks much better on pictures than after unpackaing
- one side of plastic holder looks like having "melted in" some metallic dust (maybe its decoration)
In general: few grams of plastic, clumsy finished - not worth the money. If it was dur-aluminium based mount (like adaptor???) it would be different story.
Good news, it works, you can mount your filters (these are much better quality than holder) and use them nicely. The button "locking" on ring, isn't in fact locking anything, its metallic and looks sharp (so it will leave marks on adaptor quite quick, guaranteed - I hope that in future it wont take off any metal dust of the ring that can get into lens). The button isn't this shiny as on pictures - believe me, looks more like "unfinished coating", later I'll add some real pictures.
The thing I like about this kit is that you can manage amounts of "blades" (these are not blades in reality, just small pieces of plastic, if you have good hands you can do these yourself having some PCV).... Read more ›

Brilliant holder. Lee makes quality kit and it shows with this holder. I have had Cokin holders in the past but this is a much better system

Well designed and well built piece of kit. The only note I'd make is that you have to open the brass lock, seen at 4pm in the picture, by pulling it out away from the ring, to get the holder onto the camera. Yet, to take the holder off the camera, you simlpy tug it off. Why have a lock to make it difficult to get on?
Nevertheless it's otherwise well designed and robust and my favourite piece of kit.

Quality Kit
Just got the Lee kit to replace my aging Cokin Kit and what a difference. Not cheap, but a precision photo acessory never is.
