WTS Smaller size sheets of Lee Filters

Amazing that last pic with the xpg-3 in the panda /.... simply adding a 1/8th minus filter sheet some great pics

take the time to go thru thefreemans pics here >> https://imgur.com/a/fxQOlYg

I sent a PM. Does anyone know how to affix the filter to the outside of the lens? I want to use some on a Wurkkos FC11, I can get that one apart and put filter behind the lens. But what about on lights you can’t get apart?

no.1 has sticky adhesive.

  • You could find an object that’s a similar shape as the lens and use that to draw a circle on the paper for the adhesive.
  • Use scissors to cut a circle.
  • Try to position the circle on the lens without removing the paper cover for the adhesive to see if it fits.
  • Cut it down a little more until it fits.
  • Wipe the lens with a microfibre cloth to get rid of finger smudges or dust,l.
  • Remove the paper from the film.
  • Stick the film to the lens.
  • Press any bubbles out.

That’s the approach I used. There might be easier an easier way.

I assume mbp is talking about the color filter rather than the diffuser, personally I used tiny amount of glue from a glue stick around the edge. It works ok but a water resistant glue might be better.

I tried using 3 small dots of super glue to attach a minus green filter to dc-fix 1. It left some ugly marks on the filter and bezel.

I also tried Elmer’s Clear glue and that didn’t hold.

Are there other suitable glues?

I wonder would it be possible to install with a bit of water between the film and the glass, similar to some smartphone protective films?

Manker E14III NW with #F1 1/8 minus green filter:

Green almost completely gone on low.
It doesn’t look green on Medium/High/Turbo now. :+1:

Glad I could help ...

No one wants a green light except maybe the Green Lantern .

Not to rain on this. How are you keeping the gel from melting? Multiple times I have had issues with small camera flashes melting them. Cost me a ex580, and I became much more selective about when I would use them.

How about Norland 61 ?

It’s optically clear and cured with UV. Usually used to attach tritium vials, but it might work to bind the two layers together without artifact or marking?

If you’re using a crazy hot rod flashlight Then I’d suggest using the zircon filters which are tough as nails . You’d have to be running a welding torch to burn one up .

Never heard of anyone melting a regular filter with a flashlight but obviously Lee wanted or felt the need to also make a tougher filter too. :)

Yassss,
Was looking for this all over amazon and ebay. I need this for my E14 III BLF combo. It quite too green for my taste. PM sent, thanks Boaz.

Once mine come in I’ll be posting pics of my Astrolux ft03 xhp50.2 6000-6500k (dedomed) before and after. I don’t have pics of beam before I dedomed, but the cct dropped which was great but also got MUCH greener, this should help ALOT.

Thanks, Boaz! pleasure purchasing with you

In fact I have new / harder to find zircon sheets ....as well as more regular Lee and Rosco filters

PM me and I’ll send you an up to date list of everything I carry .

Thanks Boaz

I sent you a email to the address in the message you sent me. I’m unable to PM you back, probably because my account is too new. Let me know if you got it!
