Hi just picked up the Century Optics 4" filter holder/ring. If I wanted to get a Lee or Hitech 4x4" CPL, how would I adjust it? Is there another adapter to get to rotate it?

Thanks

Never mind. Looks like I either go with a 4x4 and just deal with turning it 90 degrees as needed, or spend a lot more money and go with the Lee 105mm Accessory Ring and 105mm filter.

If you are running the polariser without ND grads you should be able to turn the filter holder on the lens adaptor. The century optics kit is rebranded Lee if I am not mistaken.

I also believe the Lee professional kit allows for independant rotation of the front filters if you want to run grads stacked with the CPL.

Not without. I actually have a B&W 77mm CPL if I'm just using it by itself. The Century is basically a Lee kit.
