dbarnes Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hi all, I use the Lee filter system. What is the procedure for fitting a polyester filter (ie. thin, flexible filter) to the plastic snapfilter frames that then slide into double width slots on the filter holder? Failing to just "push" the blunt "pins" on the plastic frames throughthe filter, I had to resort to cutting the filter down to a smaller size with scissors so that it extended into the frame area, but notall the way to the little plugs that "snap" into the holes... What is standard practice? many thanks - David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_kern Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I also use the Lee filter system and I too cut down the filter to fit inside the plastic frame. I don't think those pins will press through the gel very easily. Just be sure not to cut down the gel too much! I think those gels are made to be cut, for instance, if you want to put one over a light or flash. Since it's Lee they're still ridiculously expensive considering what they are, but gels from other companies, like Kodak, are dirt cheap.
