Lee Filters Nikon 14-24mm filter holder

[ice9001]

imagine carrying this all up a mountain lol think I`ll stick with blending . Bet those lee filters are cheap .

[pedalman]

Ordered mine from warehouse experss on 29th Nov I was told today (23rd Dec) that I will get it delivered on 28th Dec !!!!!!! They had five on order .

[ThePhotory]

@RobertWhitePhoto Will this work for a Samyang 14mm?

Shouldn't be to much of a diffrence on those two lenses since they are both 14mm

[Alexvideoclip]

**** NIKON BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ****

My Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 is back focusing at 14mm (I can’t use AF fine tune because it make the lens blury at 24mm).

I called NIKON, they said: “it happen sometimes”, and asked me to send the lens for repair.

It will cost me $60 for the shipping+insurance ($2000 lens)

Nikon does NOT want to pay for the shipping & insurance.

Why shoud I pay $60 because NIKON did not check the lens before selling it ?

Do you think that is a great customer service ?

[pedalman]

@Alexvideoclip If the lens is still under guarantee take it back to the place you bought it and it will all be done for free.

[airognollongoria]

thats way too big



[pedalman]

@airognollongoria It is way to big compared with other filter holders but if it does the job so this unbelievable lens can be used with filters then its worth having.

[appacana]

where can I buy this in the US?

[Jasshands1]

ANy plans for the sigma 8-16

[ndusty13]

Hi, is it true that you can't get a 150mm polarized filter for this set up?

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@ndusty13 Sorry you can not get a Polariser for this they are not available in such a large size , although with lenses this wide a polariser would produce very patchy results so could better using ND grads instead.

Thanks] Stu

[troylimphotography]

Disappointed that the price jumped from estimated of 200+ to 400+

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@troylimphotography

Hi We list the holder with a 2 stop ND grad for £270 + the filters cost £77 each, this makes the holder cost £193.. hope this helps

[flyingtigerTJ]

I just received this holder last week, but only with one slot, not the two shown on your demo

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@flyingtigerTJ

Thank you for your note

We used a pre production unit for our video , working units come with one slot but can be fitted with a second if needed. Did you purchase it from Robert White ?

I could send you some blades if you did.

Kind regards

Stu

[quintano20]

@flyingtigerTJ - How long did you wait to recieve your filter holder? im planning to buy one in the near future.

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@quintano20

He have only seen a small number of these filter holders, the one shown here was pre production

Thank you for watching

Kind regards

Stu

[photographercrossing]

Does the filterholder works with the Sigma 12-24mm F4,5-5,6 EX DG / HSM lens too? The front part of the Sigma lens looks quite the same. Can you try it and post your experience. Thanks...

Btw I got the filter today after 4 month after ordering at robertwhite.co.uk

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@photographercrossing

This filter holder may well fit the Sigma via a adaptor

[photographercrossing]

@RobertWhitePhoto

It is the same adaptor as for the Nikon 14-24mm or is there a different adaptor?

[KrissiBenassi]

will you also produce a filter holter for the tokina 16-28?

[THEJEDEYEMASTER]

It's a shame Nikon didn't offer the a rear gelatin filter option. $450 is way too much for a filter system. Landscape/architect photogs now have an expensive option. Personally, I would just buy the 16-35VR. The 14-24 is a better lens but that big bulbous lens scares the bejesus out of me. I know it would get cracked within a month if I had it. Will be getting the 16-35VR instead. problem is it's heavy distortion in the 16mm which can be fixed with a simple slider in PS , which is a none issue.

[1986Chaitanya]

what ND filters are avl in 150mm size?

[deformator2]

Where can I buy this gem?

[quintano20]

can a LEE big stopper fit on this filter holder?

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@quintano20

I regret that I can see no way of fitting a big stopper to this holder.

The big stopper is 100x100mm and the SW holder takes a 150x150. in addition the front element of the 14-24 would not allow the big stopper to seal correctly

Stu

[quintano20]

how long does it take if im going to order this?

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@quintano20

LEE tell us that although we have received a number of delays, we should start to see stocks in September.

Thank you for watching

Stu

[snifnscratch]

I own a copy of this lens, and I really dont see the need for any filter at all - its fantastic as it is!

[wmm976]

There is a noticeable gap between the glass and the filter holder. Wouldn't that let in stray light from the sides/top reflecting on the camera side of the filter?

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@wmm976

The gap between the lens and the filter could be a problem

LEE tell us that they are going to be providing baffles with the holder

Stu

[HoutmeyersP]

A polarizer would be the reason why i would even consider this holder. A polarizer can be used for vertical shots where there's a lesser chance of getting uneven polarisation in the sky....or it can be used to avoid strong reflections on a watersurface. My guess is that a polarizer would be one of the most wanted filters.... instead of the most unpopular as stated before. Polarizer is the only filter i need...grads can be software generated by using layers from different exposures.

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@HoutmeyersP

Thanks for the feedback, My guess is that because of the issue with wide angle...remember that this is 14mm that even modest problems with Polarisers would be an issue. a polariser will still give patchy results on an ultra wide lens weather used for reflection reduction or to increase saturation.

Whilst I am sure you are more that happy to cope with these issues I fear that the less experienced would feel very disappointed if it did not work correctly at all focal lengths.

Stu

[HoutmeyersP]

@RobertWhitePhoto

You are correct when you say that at 14mm the effect of a polarizer could be patchy. But this Nikkor 14-24 mm2.8 G can also be used at longer focal lengts. I use this lens on a 5DmkII and i have been looking for a polarizer solution since i got it. The best option i have today is to get a Cokin X pro circ.polarizer (Diameter 130mm) and use it handheld for focal lengts 17mm and upwards. This would not be an easy to work with solution.. but its the only option i can think of

[robasce]

how much does the filter adapter cost?

[spacemonkayman]

I want to buy the lense just to have this! It's awesome!

[channeltapped]

Really excited about this filter holder! There is a Cokin system out there for this lens but it is $600. Lee is speculating about $250 range and that includes a filter.

[cableaddict]

Coolness, but will we really need all new, 150mm filters? OMG!

Assuming you were only shooting from, say, 17mm to 24mm, could you use existing 105mm filters with this holder?

[RobertWhitePhoto]

@cableaddict

I am sorry but the slotts on this filter holder are designed to take 150mm x170mm filtes.

[cableaddict]

@RobertWhitePhoto

Yes, I know. The question is CAN you use 100mm filters, with a cardboard adapter or other, assuming you're putting this on a 17mm lens. For instance, Lee sells adapters that let you put a 3" filter in their 4" filter.

[GLYNDAVIESPHOTOGRAPH]

And I'd like to see this exact product to fit the new Canon prime wides as again the convex front elements are totally impractical for landscape work and means they are missing a huge amount of revenue. I have had to stick with the 16-35 Canon just because I can't use grads!

[gkanai]

Thank you so much for this video!  Cannot wait to try this on my 14-24. I'm hoping Lee or others will release a 10-stop ND in 150mm.

[nikonboi]

Excellent solution. Will the new lens cap for this lens/ filter holder be available at launch of this filter holder? Secondly, will we be able to buy step down rings to attach this holder to our other 77mm lenses (like the 24-70mm/2.8)? Lastly, can we expect this product by the summer?

[RobertWhitePhoto]

:@nikonboi

Should have also said, That whilst it may not be available from the start, I believe Lee filters have planned additional adaptor rings for use with standard filter threads.

Stu

[Alexvideoclip]

Is a polarizing filter available ?

Are the filters multicoated glass or plastic ?

Thank you.

[RobertWhitePhoto]

Ultra wide lenses look patchy with a polariser and would not be popular. I doubt at this point if Lee are planning one for this holder.

Lee filters are made from Optical Resin , Optical Polyester or glass. Lee Grad filters including the one in the video are Hand made from optical resin....

[RobertWhitePhoto]

The lens shade on this lens is fixed the larger 150mm x 175mm filters mean that even with the fixed shade we will not get cut off in normal use. Lee have planned an alternative lens cap to allow the filter holder rings to remain fixed to the lens whilst still protecting the domed front element.

[scarybiscuit1]

Normal lee filters are 100mm wide this holder takes movie size 150mm wide filters the only problem is the risk of light flare from behind. Though it is usual for a photographer to flag this out . We are expecting the holder to cost about Gbp £200 and the larger 100mm x 175mm filters to cost about gbp £100 each. Lee have spent the last year testin this in the field. We think it's great.

We have had a lot of imput into this and are hoping this is to be a solution for many wa lenses

Stu

[siddartharo]

Cute accent monkey boy!

And the ring is composed out of three rings. Hahahaha! Brit logic.

[RobertWhitePhoto]

Thank you for your kind words.... and yes one ring made from three rings... Sorry but we don't script our Videos so some bits sound daft..... but hopefully you get the idea....

[FourT6and2]

This is a brilliant solution for the 14-24mm! I may buy this lens now that there is a way to use filters on it.

[FogalorWolford]

They never mention these holders don't work at say below 18mm. Might as well buy the 16-35 as well and save yourself a lot of money.

[RobertWhitePhoto]

Good news is that  this DOES work at 14mm and allows you to rotate the grad without cut off. I am sure the 14-24mm will be optically better than the far cheaper 16-35

[FogalorWolford]

You got me there. How is that physically possible? Holding the grad right against the shade there are still cutouts to pass light behind it to the element. Anyone rigging this up has confessed they are limited to 18mm or DX coverage. Nikon otherwise would have produced a plain circular hood without the petal cut outs. BTW I do own the 14-24.

[johnbmueller]

Yes interested! Just easier to express this on here. But yeah, tell Lee to make these.

[1770s]

this is what i've been waiting for...

[videodaddy99]

I'm not sure it's a good idea to use a planar filter in front is such an extreme wide angle lens.

[deepseabadger]

I have this exact camera/lens setup, i would not want to have to assemble the four pieces of aluminum at a beach in the cold and dark and risk scratching the huge front element. Its from Lee so the price of this kit and the price of the new larger filters will total about £500 no doubt.

I would rather just exposure blend when using this lens for landscapes. On order is the new 16-35 f4 and i can just use all my regular sized filters with the new glass so for me this just has no appeal sorry.

[RobertWhitePhoto]

Hi , I think the idea is that you leave the locking ring in the lens and only attach the slotted filter holder when you need to.

[deepseabadger]

Well by the looks of things leaving the assembly on the lens would stop the lens cap being fitted, can you confirm?

[BigRooster747]

YES, YES, yes, GETTING ONE FOR SURE!!!!!

[KitLaughlin]

Brilliant; what many of us have been waiting for.

@ kishikara: If you are at the wide end of this lens, at least half of the visible sky is always darker, as I am sure you have observed, so you might not want a polariser if you are using a grad at the same time.

If you are concerned about reflections, I can't see why a polariser can't go in one of the slots (I saw two there), though.

Exciting product.

[MisterDanLorth]

the people on fredmiranda are killing photography.

[kariskara]

Finally someone came out with a solution for this lens, but is there any way to use polarizer in conjunction with the graduated filter?

Thank you.
