Lee filters

I am pretty happy with the Lee filters and gels. I use two types of them.

1. The Lee filter holder system, together with neutral density filters. I do have a foundation kit with a 77m adapter ring and the 0.3 and 0.6 GND (graduated neutral density) filters. They work pretty nice!





2. Flash gels. I use them to modify/match the color temperature of the flashes. This is the basic list of gels one should have:

CTO - Full Colour Temperature Orange Lee 204
½ CTO - Half Colour Temperature Orange Lee 205
¼ CTO - Quarter Colour Temperature Orange Lee 206
CTB - Full Colour Temperature Blue Lee 201
½ CTB - Half Colour Temperature Blue Lee 202
¼ CTB - Quarter Colour Temperature Blue Lee 203
Plus Green (aka Window Green) Lee 244
½ Plus Green Lee 245
¼ Plus Green Lee 246
.3 ND - 1 stop neutral density Lee 209

It is possible to order a very nice set from Flash Gels (UK).
