Product Information
Full details
The LEE Filters Mist Stripe is an essential creative tool for landscape and fine art photographers looking to add atmospheric depth to their images. Designed for the LEE 100mm system, it simulates natural fog and mist effects through selective placement, helping to enhance mood and texture. While it provides incredible control over creative diffusion, users should note that achieving a realistic look requires careful positioning and practice to ensure the effect complements the subject rather than distracting from it.

FAQs
Can I use this filter with other LEE filters?
Yes, the Mist Stripe is designed to be used within the LEE 100mm system and can be stacked with ND or graduated filters.
Is this filter made of glass or resin?
The filter is part of the professional LEE 100mm system line, utilizing high-quality materials standard for their optical range.
Does this filter work well with wide-angle lenses?
Yes, however, be mindful of potential vignetting if stacking multiple filters on extremely wide lenses.
Does it work for both color and black and white?
Absolutely, it is highly effective at adding texture and atmosphere to both color palettes and monochrome high-contrast shots.
How do I clean the misting area?
Use a gentle circular motion with a clean microfiber cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid.
Troubleshooting
Visible hard line where the mist starts
Adjust the aperture to a wider setting to soften the focus, or slide the filter slightly to blur the transition.
Flare or ghosting artifacts
Ensure the lens hood is properly attached to shade the filter from stray light sources coming from the side.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Mist Stripe is designed to slide into the standard slots of the LEE 100mm filter holder. To set it up, insert the filter into the outermost slot to allow for easier movement during composition. Because this is an optical glass accessory, keep it stored in a dedicated padded pouch when not in use. Use only high-quality microfiber cloths and lens-safe cleaning solutions to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid touching the optical surface directly to prevent oils from smudging the misting effect. Check the filter surface periodically for scratches, as damage to the diffused area can result in unpredictable light scattering.
