I placed an order for a lee foundation system along with some filters and a 77mm adapter. Stuff is coming a little at a time. Here is my question. I have high end B&W ND filter as well as Polarizing filter. Both are 77mm screw type. Can I still use these filters with the lee bracket and a 4x6 GND or do I need to buy new filters to fit the Lee bracket?

From my experience, you will need to purchase 4 x 4 or 4 x 6 filters.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

If your screw-type filters have threads on the front, you can attach the Lee bracket to the filter instead of the lens. Be careful that you can get the bracket off the polarizer (there are other threads about this). 4X6 gnd filters work best because they give you more options in placing the break in your frame.

How many stops is the ND filter? I know my 10 stop makes it really hard to combine with my 4x4 filters, as once it's screwed on you can't see a thing. It makes for a lot of guess work. ;)
