Lee Filters has announced a line of high-performance circular filters for photographers and videographers called Lee Elements. The set includes two levels of neutral density (ND) filters, a polarizer, and a variable ND (VND).
UK-based LEE Filters has released a brand new filter system that was designed to work best with smaller mirrorless cameras like Fuji's X-series. The LEE85 System aims to give mirrorless APS-C shooters a more portable and size-appropriate option, without skimping on features.
LEE filters has released a useful accessory for landscape photographers who want more versatility out of their filter system. The new LEE100 Tandem Adapter lets you stack two LEE100 filter holders on top of each other and rotate them independently, so you can really dial in your exposure in-camera.
LEE Filters has unveiled its new LEE100 filter system for 100mm filters. It's a next-generation system that introduces new features for making the experience of using filters faster and more intuitive.
If you recently purchased a $160 Lee Solar Eclipse filter to photograph the upcoming solar eclipse, beware: Amazon has sent out emails warning photographers not to use it. Amazon is also refunding the full purchase price without requiring that the pricey filters be returned.
A few months ago, photographer Karl Taylor got a tour of the LEE filters factory where he got to see how these high quality filters are cast, tested, and dyed (by hand!)—he even got to dye one for himself. Fortunately, he took a camera man (and now us) along for the ride.
This is useful. The folks over at LEE filters just released a handy little exposure guide app that will help you calculate the right shutter speed when you're using their Little Stopper, Big Stopper, or Supper Stopper ND filters.
Lee Filters is getting a new neutral density filter called the Super Stopper. It reduces light to your camera by 15 stops, meaning an ordinary 2-second exposure will take over 17 hours to expose through the filter.
