Filter holders size.

[Deleted member 21335]

Apologies for the cryptic title. So I've been looking to buy a lee kit recently for the Hasselblad but then I remembered the box it was delivered in and found what appears to be a hitech filter holder and adapter rings.
Now I've measured it and it doesn't seem to be 100mm. It's more like 93mm or so. Is this the case or have I got some obscure size holder? I did just use a plastic ruler so maybe I need to re measure later on to be sure. Would save me some money if I could just buy a couple of filters to fit.

I've just measured my Lee filter holder, it is approx. 102mm inside of slot to inside of slot and 95mm diameter of the opening.

Hmmm, sounds like mine is small then. I'll leave my offer in the classified for the Lee system then and hope it fits one of my adapter rings for the Hasselblad.

So my filter holder measures 100mm outside edge to outside edge, but the internal measurement is 93/94mm. Any suggestions? It seems hitech do filters in 85mm or 100mm sizes so I am fairly confused.

**UPDATE**

Ok, I rang Hitech and they confirmed that filter holder size is at least 20 years old, hence why the sizes are smaller. Looks like I will have to get another one.

That would explain it then fwiw the Lee system has worked well for me, not tried others so cannot comment on those, but hitech seem to get a good rep.
