Mounting the holder

To fit the LEE100 holder to any LEE Filters adaptor ring, first ensure the
spring release is in its neutral position, before pulling it to open the holder.
Hook the two black teeth into the adaptor ring, then slot in the other side
of the holder before letting go of the spring release. The holder will now be
fixed in place.

The LEE100 holder has been designed for one-handed operation. If you
pinch the gap between the holder body and the blue locking ring with your
thumb and forefinger, the spring release should open fully and you can
mount or remove the holder while maintaining a firm grip.

Locking dial

The LEE100 holder has an innovative three-way locking mechanism that
allows you to use the holder in a variety of ways.

With the blue locking dial in the neutral position,
the spring release is pulled out to allow the
holder to be attached to the adaptor ring. With
the locking dial in this position, the holder can be
knocked o the adaptor ring should you catch
it in your clothing, for example. This will protect
your camera and lens from potential damage.

When the blue locking dial is in the half-lock
position, the holder is locked to the adaptor ring
and cannot be knocked o. However, it will still
freely rotate should you require it.*

When the blue locking dial is in the full-lock
position, the holder is not only locked to the ring
but also it cannot be rotated.*

LEE Filters recommend that you remove all filters from the holder before
moving around a location, even if the holder is locked onto the ring. Filters
can slip from the holder and be damaged if travelling over rough ground.
The holder itself will be fine by itself if locked to the ring.

* Please note that this feature may not work fully with some older adaptor
rings, as tolerances used in manufacture may have changed over the years.
As a result, some rings will only achieve limited locking function.
