I have the firecrest 100mm holder so met be different Toby
That's the one I haveI have the firecrest 100mm holder so met be different Toby
If you mean my post then I can use either slot.
That was a typo
From memory the filter holder itself has a gasket so the filters fit snuggly (I've not used mine for a while )
I'm getting confused now I assume using you mean using lee filters with a gasket on a lee holder (assumably without a gasket) fit perfectly?I see, that would explain it - mine does not have a gasket on the holder so the Lee filters (with gasket) fit perfectly.

For those who use grads. I've just bought a kit on here and none of the ND's have gaskets. This means that the filters will not fit in the holder nearest the lens. Does it matter, is light leak a problem with 2,3 and 5 stop NDs
It's wider, I assume to accommodate a gasketI'm wondering why not having a gasket means they don't fit in the slot nearest the lens?
Removing spacers would make it wider, it's already two wide for the filter to fit, it just slipped through. I'm assuming the wider gap is to accommodate a filter with a gasket.Have a look at the holder, the slots nearest the lens have a small spacer fitted which can be removed to make the gap the same size as a normal filter. I have an Hitech 6 stop which has a gasket. If I want to use a grad filter I remove the spacers so it fits snuggly as it hasn't got a gasket
Which way do you mean wider? The filters are 85mm wide. Is you filter narrower? Or are you referring to depth of the filter?Removing spacers would make it wider, it's already two wide for the filter to fit, it just slipped through.

Yeah, I meant as in thickness. I see in the picture you provided the spacer you meant. Will look on mine later. Cheers, I appreciate the helpWhich way do you mean wider? The filters are 85mm wide. Is you filter narrower? Or are you referring to depth of the filter?
This first picture shows the small spacer and the second shows the left side it's fitted the right side it's removed and makes the gap smaller to hold the filter.

That worked a treat, thanksHopefully it will help and solve your issue. The only ND I have is 6 stops with a gasket. I just tend to use a graduated ND in the next slot then I have the polariser holder fitted.
