Lee 100mm System & Schneider IIIb Center Filter

Hi,

I have a Super Symmar XL 80mm with a Schneider IIIb Center Filter (86mm Filter Thread),
and I have the 90-100 Donut Spacer and the Push-On Filter Holder.

I tried to put the 90-100 Spacer onto the Center Filter,
and then put the Donut spacer onto that and tighten it with the skrew,
but it is does not fit and is extremely loose,
so that the whole thing falls off the lens...

Is there a smaller donut spacer?
Or what could it be that I'm doing wrong.

Best regards and thanks,
Martin

You can get a standard Lee 86mm adapter ring that will screw onto the front of the IIIb as per normal.

Martin - there is a different donut which you need. Then the set-up you have works absolutely fine.

I recall only having 2 slots on my push-on filter holder (advised by Robert White staff) when I had this set-up. I used it mostly with the 80mm lens, but also the 58mm and same centre filter with no problems.

Dave, Baxer: Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply. I'm on Skye at the moment, and the mobile internet reception is incredibly aweful...
I'm parking at Broadford (reception there) after a great sunset at Elgol ;-)

Best,
Martin
