Lee introduces Tandem adapter to hold graduated filters at conflicting angles
(Digital Photography Review)

Filter system manufacturer Lee has introduced a new adapter for its 100 series that allows photographers to hold two filter holders at angles to each other in a move aimed at offering more precise control of brightness across the scene. The new Lee 100 Tandem adapter fits into one of the slots of the existing 100 series holder and is able to rotate a second holder independently of the main one. The idea is to accommodate situations in which brightness transitions in the scene work across more than one plane, and the Tandem holder can be used to position a second graduated filter at an angle to the others. The main holder can still hold two filters as well as the adapter, while the adapter holds its own holder with filter slots. Once the filters are in the right place the adapter´s position can be locked to prevent accidental movement. Lee has also launched a new hood for the 100 system holder. The collapsible hood uses a self-supporting bellows structure and extends to shield the lens and filters loaded in the Lee 100 holder from the sun or directional artificial lighting. The hood locks on to the main holder and can be rotated independently when needed. The Lee 100 Tandem adapter will be available from 5th August and will cost £44.50 plus tax. The Lee 100 Hood will come out on the 19th August at £208 plus tax. For more information see the Lee Filters website.
