The 100 x 100mm 85 Light Balancing Filter from Lee Filters is compatible with a LEE Filters 100mm System filter holder. It is uniform in color, and with a mired shift value of +112 it can be applied to purposely create a warm cast over an entire image. This effect can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. The Lee Filters 100 x 100mm 85 Light Balancing Filter is also useful for balancing light sources with a color temperature of 5500K for type A tungsten film, which is designed to accurately reproduce colors under 3400K light sources.

This filter is made of optical-quality resin and measures 2.0mm thick. A padded pouch is also included with the filter.

When used, the Lee Filters 100 x 100mm 85 Light Balancing Filter's 0.2 density darkens the entire image by 0.6 stops. This reduction in exposure can be compensated for by adjusting the aperture setting of the lens it is placed on, or the shutter speed of the camera being used.

The light balancing filters for type A tungsten film are designed to correct for the color temperatures over 3400K, and are considered to be progressively stronger in their effect when used to add warmth to a daylight image.

Q: 7. Will this filter fit inside a standard mattebox 4x4 tray? We use the Genus Matte Box Lite and use Tiffin 4x4 filters without a problem, however the Tiffin 1,8 ND is twice the price of the Lee filter.The Lee filter has foam around the sides and is thinner than the Tiffin which is 4mm thick... so not sure it was meant for use in a matte box like the Genus. Thx for your help.

A: It will fit but be a somewhat tight fit because of the foam on the filter.

Q: 8. Can I use this filter for the eclipse? If so, does it need an adapter?

A: Technically, yes, you could use it, but the sun will may likely still be overexposed. To get a properly exposed sun, you need a special solar eclipse filter that is far darker. Even with the solar eclipse filter, never use the optical view finder to frame the shot and always wear specialized solar eclipse glasses.

Q: 10. When buying a Neutral density filter, do you buy an adapter size for each lens size you have? That way the filter becomes interchangeable? For instance one size for a 24mm-80mm and another size for a 24mm-120mm.

A: For the Lee Big Stopper, you would need to get a filter holder such as the LEE Filters Foundation Kit (B&H # LEFK). You would then need an adapter ring to attach the filter holder to your lens(es). The size of the adapter ring would be dependent on the filter thread size of each of your lenses (any lenses with the same size filter thread could use the same adapter ring). http://bhpho.to/1lERSTT
