New Lee filter holders designed for compact cameras

Lee Filters, a company best known for its range of large square and rectangular filter and holder sets has just announced a new filter holder system designed for high-end compact digital cameras and rangefinders. The RF75 Filter System is said to be compact, lightweight, and small enough to not interfere with viewfinders that are positioned close to lenses, as is common in compacts and rangefinder cameras. A full range of round, screw-mounted filters will be compatible with the system.

RF75 Filter Holder System

Lee launch new filter system - Lee Filters launch RF75 Filter Holder System for rangefinders and high-end compact cameras.

An entirely new filter holder system from LEE Filters, the RF75 is designed primarily for use on rangefinder and high end compact cameras. The superbly made all metal filter holder is small enough not to intrude excessively into the viewfinder and therefore becomes easy to use both on the tripod and when handheld, and the index marks on the front plates allow accurate positioning of the filters’ grad line on the image.

The RF75 will fit to adaptor rings from 39 to 67mm, will take 2 filters as standard and can be adjusted to 1 filter to enable use on the widest angle lenses. The system also includes a unique polariser that can be clipped on and off the holder in seconds and allows the use of both polariser and graduated filters in combination on wide angle lenses.

A full range of filters are available, with some sets offering the most popular filters at very competitive prices.

The RF75 Filter System has been designed to offer a high quality precision filter holder that is compact, lightweight and will fit to lenses with a diameter of 67mm or less.

The holder is primarily offered to users of rangefinder and high end digital compact cameras, but will equally be of use for large and medium format users who require a smaller, more compact filter system.

The RF75 System includes a full range of filters sized 75mm x 90mm. These filters are hand made to the same exacting quality standards of colour and optical flatness found in the renowned LEE 100mm System. In keeping with the smaller size, the filter graduation zones have been adjusted to suit the smaller system. These changes have been made through extensive testing and in conjunction with top landscape photographers.

When ordering any filters for the RF75 System it is recommended that you prefix the filter name with ‘RF75’ to ensure you receive the correct size filters i.e. RF75 0.6 Neutral Density Hard Graduated Filter.

The RF75 System is equally at home on film and digital cameras and is available as individual components or as sets including both filters and hardware.
