Lee 100mm Resin Black and White Filters

Lee 100mm Resin Black and White Filters

The 100 filter system is most popular of the Lee Filters range. The size of the filters and adaptability of the holders makes it suitable for the vast majority of lenses and formats on the market. Plus the 100mm filter size ensures compatibility with other systems and brands.

Lee 100mm Resin Black And White Filters are widely used by black & white photographers for creative effect – most commonly to increase contrast between sky and cloud. However, care should be taken, because as much as a black & white filter darkens one colour, it lightens another – specifically, any colour that is similar to its own. A red filter, for example, makes a red pillar box appear almost white, and a blue sky as almost black. However, a red filter also absorbs green, which would block up the foreground of a verdant landscape.

The black & white filters in the Lee 100 Black And White range can be used in conjunction with others, such as the polariser and neutral density standards and graduates.

The Lee 100 range of black & white filters are made from optical grade resin and are handmade by Lee Filters in England.

The filters are 100mm x 100mm in size and 2mm in thickness. They are supplied with a soft storage pouch.
