Lee Holder Query

[chrism_scotland]

I've received my Lee Filter kit that I ordered through the wee but a wee query regarding fitting the holder to the adaptor ring, is is meant to be very loose when its attached or am I doing something wrong?
It just seems that a slight breeze would blow it off.

Dunno about the Lee one, but the Cokin adapter to holder fit is pretty secure....

It should be fairly tight but rotate easey.

Mine was pretty tight, but rotated as malla says.

Is the groove in the adaptor ring engaged fully with the holder? May be worth checking this as I didn't quite manage this at first.

Hi Chris,
As I mentioned a few days ago I left my 105mm polariser somewhere on Skye, any way now have a new Kasemann 105mm pol filter which is still a little stiff to turn. I have just tried it in my three different Lee holders with nine different adapter rings and on two the holder rotates if I dont put a finger against the pin thing (technical term!) sticking out.
In the past I have had some adapters that would hardly fit the holder, they were so tight. But having now only W/A holders (much prefer machined metal)whether needing them or not no problems. Never did like those plastic rings.

Cheers folks managed to sort it, the holder was already built when I got it, I took it apart and built it again, whoever put it together before had put it together backwards to the grooves were the wrong way round, all sorted now though, very secure.
Now just need to get some soft grads.
