Xume 82mm Filter Holder
I can't say enough good things about this item. If you use more than one filter (i.e. CPL, ND etc.) you NEED this Xume system. No more losing pictures because of the time it takes to swap filters, no more cross threading filters, and no more stuck filters. Please watch the video on their website (below) on the bottom right of the page entitled Ross Hoddinott, Pro Photographer. I Love Xume (pronounced Zoom) and have them for every lens. I am a fan, not a stockholder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfplwqaxyFI

Generally OK
I have a few sizes and they do what they say they'll do … EXCEPT for the 55mm size. Those don't mate well at all. I've tried two different sets with the same result. I think the 55's have a manufacturing defect.

I have a bunch of these, in three sizes. Filters and achromatic close-up lenses live in a pouch on my belt. I can put them on and off in a couple of seconds.
I use metal, screw-in lens caps on these, too.
Indispensable in the field.

inscrutable
The filter holder has only female threads, which makes it impossible to attach directly to the lens. It is not obvious what this holder is designed to do.

I am a big fan of Xume products
I am a big fan of Xume products. The magnetic filter holders work extremely well. Do yourself a favor and go to their website and watch their short video.

Wish I'd Gotten It Sooner
What a great aid for filter users ... not only for convenience but also to save the lens from being cross threaded in a rush to add a filter. -1 star for the possibility of knocking the filter off if struck from the side.

quick change filters
This ring solved my problem of having to constantly change filters/diopters and having the threads frequently not co-operate.
NowI can change them in a second. Would give 5 stars, but they are overpriced, especially the lens adapter side.

serious vignetting
The vignetting is pretty bad with a full frame camera and wide angle lenses. I am returning mine.

Close, but no cigar
The concept of this magnetic filter holder and lens adapter is ingenious, but it is important to me to have a lens cap on my lenses while stored in my photo bag. As it stands now, a lens cap will not fit over a filter using this system. I was told that Xume may be introducing a lens cap of their own that will work, but at an additional cost.
Also, I found that my Tiffen 77mm variable ND filter will not work successfully with this system because it is heavy and I don't feel it is secure.
