FAQ

Can the Formatt-Hitech 100mm Modular Holder System be used with other filter brands besides Formatt Hitech and Lee?

The holder system is designed specifically for 100mm Formatt Hitech and Lee filters. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and would depend on the exact dimensions and thickness of the filters.

Is it possible to use more than one circular polarizer with this holder system?

The system is designed to accommodate an optional adapter ring for one circular polarizer. Using more than one circular polarizer is not recommended as it may lead to vignetting and image quality issues.

Does the thumbscrew mechanism require any tools for attachment or removal?

No tools are needed for attaching or removing the holder system. The thumbscrew mechanism is designed to be operated by hand, making it convenient for quick changes in the field.

Is the aluminum backplate resistant to corrosion from environmental elements?

The aluminum backplate is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions encountered in outdoor photography.

How does the use of a circular polarizer with this holder system benefit my photography?

Using a circular polarizer with the holder system can help reduce glare and reflections, enhance the blue of skies, and improve color saturation, resulting in clearer and more vibrant photographs.

Shopper : how many filters does it hold?WAYNE R : This filter holder will hold 3 4x6 filtersJOHN A : Three but you can buy accessories that expand that. It's a much tighter fit for the filters than the Lee holder, that's neither good or bad just noticeably different.ATTILA N : 3EVAN L : You can stack up to at least 3 filters - maybe more but not sure if this is wise? I stack a ND/Grad and use the front accessory for the circ-pol. One thing to note is if you use it on ultra wide, you will have to clone out the screws. They sometimes end up in your photo. I use this on my 17-40mm and only at the 17 length does this happen. However, if you are only using one filter - the kit includes smaller screws that do not show up.

It works well

Kestrelcycler should have read the description before purchasing. The holder is DEFINITELY compatible with Lee filters as described, it is not intended to be compatible with the lee lens adapter ring, only the filters. I have no problem with it really. The aluminium base plate is well made and it attaches just fine to my my lenses with 82mm, 77mm and 72mm barrel diameters with the Hitech adapters. Just make sure you get the wide angle adapter to avoid vignetting below 24mm on full frame. The only problem I have is that the 105mm CPL adapter is plastic, why not just make it aluminium also? Other than that, it's good.

About Formatt Hitech 100mm Holder

Over the years, photographers have sought precision and versatility in their filter systems, and the Formatt-Hitech 100mm Modular Holder System stands as a testament to these needs. Engineered with a robust aluminum backplate, this holder system is designed to hold up to three 100mm Formatt Hitech or Lee filters simultaneously, providing photographers with the creative flexibility to layer effects and control light transmission with ease.

The system's compatibility with an optional adapter ring further enhances its functionality, allowing the use of a circular polarizer to reduce reflections and enhance color saturation. This feature is particularly beneficial for landscape and architectural photographers who require the utmost clarity and vibrancy in their images.

Mounting the holder to the adapter is a breeze, thanks to a user-friendly thumbscrew mechanism. This design ensures that the holder attaches securely to the lens, providing stability during shoots, while also allowing for quick attachment and removal. The thumbscrew mechanism is gentle on the lens, ensuring that your valuable equipment remains unscathed during the process.

Crafted with attention to detail, the holder's aluminum construction not only adds to its durability but also ensures it withstands the rigors of outdoor photography. The lightweight nature of the aluminum backplate ensures that the holder system does not add unnecessary weight to your gear, making it an ideal companion for photographers on the move.

Despite its many strengths, users have noted that the 105mm CPL adapter is made of plastic. While this does not detract from the functionality of the system, it is a consideration for those who prefer a fully aluminum construction.

In summary, the Formatt-Hitech 100mm Modular Holder System is a well-crafted, professional-grade tool that offers photographers the ability to adapt to various shooting conditions with ease. Its compatibility with high-quality filters, combined with a secure and gentle mounting system, makes it an essential accessory for serious photographers looking to elevate their imagery.
