Building on the success of their LEE100 Tandem Adapter, LEE Filters have released a brand new filter system that is designed to work best with smaller mirrorless cameras like the Fuji’s X-series and Sony APS-C Cameras. The new LEE85 System aims to give mirrorless APS-C shooters a more portable and size-appropriate option, without skimping on features that are essential.
According to the description on LEE’s website; “The LEE85 Filter System has been engineered specifically for photographers with smaller bodied cameras and lenses who need to travel light but don’t want to compromise on filter quality and versatility. It’s compact, easy-to-use and is perfect for any kind of photography on-the-go, especially handheld.”
The holder itself is similar to the company’s LEE100 system, allowing you to slot in up to 3 filters (including the circular polarizer) and featuring a locking dial that allows you to adjust the holder’s orientation on the adapter ring before locking it down completely while you shoot. The System will be sold in various kits with three different adapter rings—58mm, 67mm and 72mmm—and a set of corresponding filters that were designed for smaller sensors and the smaller holder.
With no hassle from the ongoing pandemic, the LEE85 System is expected out in second quarter of 2020. As for price, its unsure yet but all will be communicated on the company’s site. To visit it click here.
