Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this Lee filter fit in the NiSi 150mm filter holder?

A: Yes, it should fit regardless of which NiSi filter holder system you own. I have both the original filter system that came out before the newest one that has the circular polarizer built into it. As long as its a 150x150 filter, it will work.

Q: 2. Is the Lee Filter Holder universal for all lenses barrel size ?

A: It would fit with Lee filter screw adapters up to 105mm.

Q: 3. Will this filter work with the NiSi 150mm holder?

Q: 5. is there a filter holder for this 150 x 150 filter that will fit on a Nikon 300mm f2.8G lens?

A: Unfortunately, no. The SW150 filter holder pairs with adapters for common front filter thread diameters and adapters custom-designed to fit onto select ultra-wide lenses. I admit I do not own a Nikon 300mm f/2.8G. My understanding is that they use 52mm drop-in filters. If there is an available empty drop in filter holder capable of holding third party filters, your best option would be to buy a 52mm solar filter and drop that in. If that is not possible, then your best bet for using that lens would be to try rigging a DIY means of holding this filter to the front or, prefereably, using a different lens compatible with some type of solar filter. Best of luck.

Q: 6. Will this fit 100x100 filters like the Lee Big Stopper?

Q: 9. what is the typical exposure time for this when shooting waterfalls in the day.. are we looking at 10 seconds or 10 minutes?

A: Cathy, it would be somewhere around 1 second to 4 seconds. If the normal shutter speed is 1/1000 with big stopper it would be 1 second. If the normal shutter speed is 1/250 with big stopper it will be 4 seconds. Lee filters has a nice app that shows the conversion if you are interested.

Q: 10. Will this filter holder attach to a tripod? Can one also put the filter holder/adapter in this pouch along with 1 or 2 filters? Thanks

A: The holder will not, in and of itself, attach to a tripod. There is a fabric loop-type feature sewn to the back of the holder which is too tight to the holder to directly attach to a hook on a tripod but you could use rope or similar material to attach the loop on the back of this holder to a hook on a tripod. Yes the holder is large enough to hold the filter holder and one or two filters but I prefer to keep them separate, as I am afraid of breaking the filters so I want to have more padding between my filters and the filter holder.
