FAQs
What is the main purpose of the LEE85 Adapter Ring?
The adapter ring allows you to attach the LEE85 filter holder and filters to lenses with different thread sizes, specifically designed to prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
Can I use this adapter with other filter systems?
No, this adapter ring is designed exclusively for the LEE85 filter system.
How do I know which adapter ring size to buy?
You need to check the filter thread size of your lens, which is usually printed on the front of the lens barrel or cap (e.g., 'ø37mm'). Then, purchase the adapter ring that matches that specific measurement.
Is this adapter ring suitable for all lenses?
It is suitable for any lens with a 37mm filter thread that you intend to use with the LEE85 filter system. Its design is particularly beneficial for wide-angle lenses.
What material is the adapter ring made from?
The adapter ring is made from sturdy aluminum.
Will this adapter ring fit on my lens if I already have a UV filter attached?
Generally, no. You typically need to screw the adapter ring directly onto the lens's native thread. If you have a UV filter permanently attached, you would need an adapter that screws onto the filter itself, or remove the filter.
How do I clean the adapter ring?
Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth and ensure it's completely dry before use.
Troubleshooting
Adapter ring is difficult to screw onto the lens.
Ensure you have the correct thread size and that there are no obstructions or cross-threading. Gently try screwing it on again, ensuring it is straight.
Vignetting is still present.
Confirm that the adapter ring is fully seated and that the LEE85 holder is properly attached. For extreme wide-angle lenses, check if any part of the holder itself is causing obstruction.
Filter holder does not securely clip onto the adapter ring.
Inspect both the adapter ring and the holder for any debris or damage. Ensure the clipping mechanism on the holder is functioning correctly.
