Troubleshooting
Adapter ring is difficult to screw onto the lens.
Ensure you are using the correct adapter size (62mm) and that both the lens thread and adapter threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force the adapter; if resistance is met, check alignment and try again gently.
LEE85 holder does not attach securely to the adapter ring.
Verify that the adapter ring is fully and securely screwed onto the lens. Ensure the clip mechanism on the LEE85 holder is functioning correctly and engages properly with the adapter.
