Product Information

Full details

The LEE Filters SW150 ProGlass IRND 10-stop filter is an essential tool for professional landscape photographers and cinematographers who utilize ultra-wide angle lenses requiring the specialized SW150 system. This high-quality 3.0 neutral density filter enables extreme long exposures by significantly reducing incoming light without introducing color casts, though it requires the dedicated SW150 filter holder to function correctly due to its specific large-format dimensions.

FAQs

Does this filter work with standard 100mm holders?

No, the SW150 filter is physically larger than 100mm filters and is only compatible with the LEE SW150 holder system.

Can I stack this filter with others?

While the SW150 holder can accommodate multiple filters, stacking a 10-stop ND with other dense filters may increase the risk of vignetting or optical interference.

How do I calculate exposure times with this filter?

With a 10-stop reduction, you multiply your metered shutter speed by 1024. For example, a 1/60s exposure becomes approximately 17 seconds.

Is the filter glass fragile?

While durable optical glass, it should be handled with care to prevent chipping or scratching the specialized coatings.

Does this filter cause vignetting?

When used with the correct adapter for an ultra-wide lens in the SW150 system, the filter is designed to cover the entire field of view without vignetting.

Troubleshooting

Color cast visible in long exposures

Ensure the filter is seated properly in the holder to prevent light leaks; check that your camera's white balance is set correctly.

Filter is stuck in the holder

Gently check for debris in the filter guide rails and slide the filter out slowly, ensuring you are not applying uneven pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent optical clarity with no image degradation
  • Effective suppression of infrared light to prevent color casts
  • Robust 2mm thick glass construction
  • Enables creative motion blur in bright light for ultra-wide shots

Cons

  • Requires the specific, bulky SW150 filter holder system
  • Large physical size makes it less portable than circular filters
  • High cost investment for specialized wide-angle photography

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this filter, first attach the LEE SW150 filter holder to your lens using the appropriate adapter ring for your specific lens model. Gently slide the 2mm glass filter into the designated slot on the holder, ensuring it is seated securely. Compatibility is strictly limited to the SW150 system; it will not fit standard 100mm holders. For care, always store the filter in its protective pouch when not in use. Clean the surface with a high-quality microfiber lens cloth and a professional optical cleaning solution, using light circular motions to remove smudges, fingerprints, or water spots.
