    Review of the Benro Filter System

    In the field, the Benro system has proved robust with no sign of wear, tear or damage. Although seemingly initially complex, once you get used to the system it is incredibly quick to set up and very secure. Having used the system a lot in both bad weather and in water margin areas like...

    Review of the Benro Filter System

    Filter Frames in FH100 M2 holder 100x100mm ND to rear and 100x150mm GND at front. Note blue knob top centre that locks the glass into the frame. The slot it sits in doubles as a secure handle to extract filter from case and place in filter holder. Nice to be able to pick the glass up without...

    Review of the Benro Filter System

    Checking out the competition Benro left and Lee Filters on right. Notice large, expensive CPL on front of the Lee The FH100 M2 is robust and I like that. It feels bomb proof and definitely an improvement on the plastic Lee holders. Kase and Nisi produce nice aluminium holders that look well...

    Thanks, Craig and Steve. In two minds about the blurred vegetation. It obviously goes with the whole LE shot but must admit it does bug me as well to the extent that I have already been back twice since hoping to get an LE shot and a sharp foreground shot. Both times rain stopped play, well...

    Thank you, Pietrach . Here's a link to Benro Filters' website which not only details all the products but has a list of UK stockists. I know they are in big demand so not sure how stock levels are in the UK.
