kinross Posted February 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 13, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello. I took delivery of new Leica S E last week and I am getting on very well. It is my first DSLR. I have been a M user for many years. I would like to get a filter system for the S E. This is all a new to me. I am leaning towards the Lee system. I would be interested to read any thoughts and advice members may have on this subject. Thanks. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McMaster Posted February 13, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 13, 2019 You need to think what lenses you may end up with; most are 72mm or 82mm but the 24, zoom and T/S all take 95mm filters... john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinross Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted February 13, 2019 Thanks John. At the moment I only have the Summarit 70 which is 82 MM. Not quite yet sure what my next one will be. Possibly longer. Will plough my way through the thread Jeff had put me on to and see what has been said re different systems etc. It is all a bit new to me at the moment, but I love the camera. Mike.

djmay Posted February 13, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 13, 2019 I use Lee because I started with it while using film. It works fine. I have no experience with others with the S. I use 24, 30, 70, 120 and 180. Furthermore I only use filters when absolutely necessary, for example long exposures. Most of my digital work is without filters. With film I use K25 the most. For the 24 I use the Lee 100mm filter adapter. It is a push-on adapter. I use silicone on the inside ring to make it snug on the lens.

Apart from this I have a Haida Pro 100mm filter holder and some Haida filters. I like it, but then I do not use it very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted February 13, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 13, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Lee Holder with Formatt Hitech Filters are my choice. The Lee filters are plastic, they're good, the Formatt filters are made in glass and I find them superior, the grad nd are more neutral. 100mm holder is fine, except for the 24mm where it is fine with one filter only.
