LE Filters ND hard grad custom kit

£257/$365

Lee Filters doesn’t officially offer an ND grad starter kit including a holder, so we assembled our own, based around Lee’s 100mm system. We chose two hard graduated filters, in 2-stop and 4-stop densities, plus Lee’s Foundation Kit holder. You’ll need an adaptor ring to fix the holder to your lens; these cost around £19/$35 each.

The versatile 100mm-wide filters cover most common lens sizes, while their 150mm length enables plenty of vertical adjustment. The large holder also helps minimise vignetting when using wide-angle optics.

The holder and filters are beautifully made, with excellent exposure consistency.
