Nice, so I just need to order an extra Tootse 17 hood to massacre? I already have an old Lee 100mm push on holder, currently fitted with 130mm wings. Do I need to order the standard Lee holder? Do i need a specific lens adaptor to help mate the holder and Hood ring? Regards, Gareth Cooper GMCPhotographics

If you really want a filter holder for Nikon, Lee has the SW150 in production.  Julian, Canon 5d Mark II / EF 24mm f/1.4 IIL / EF 70-200mm f/4 ISL / EF 16-35mm f/4 ISL / EF 24-70mm f/2.8 IIL

Yep, just get an spare Lenscap, a 82mm Lee Adaptor, and you can use the "normal" Lee Holder for 4x5 and 4x4 Filters. Works with full Tilt and 7mm of shift without vignetting. Mike

Keep this one in mind: Otherwise you will end up with just 5mm of shift, so it's pretty crucial for the fun factor.  The inner part of the ring is almost like Aluminum Foil, it's not hard to get rid of the 82mm Thread, so that you end up with a flat surface on the inner diameter... and the fun of 7mm of Shift. Is this a case of just filing it down with a fine rasp? Regards, Gareth Cooper GMCPhotographics

Buying an extra lens cap and modifying it to fit a 82mm Lee WA adapter ring? Yup! That's what I'm doing but, I'm planning to dremel the thread ring off the adapter.

Give it some grinding and matte Black spraypaint to avoid Reflections, after you have assembled the whole thing. I simply used a fine tooth hacksaw.

If you click the link. It will give you pictures but, the language is in German. Google translator will help clarify things but, the pictures are very straight forward.  In this image,I've already took the half part of the inner cap and planed it down with a metal file. Trying to plane it flat is where most of the work is. You want it to be level with the bottom part of the cap. (Bottom left)  Here's the bottom cap on my lens. You can see that the inner part of the cap is nice and flat. Also notice that I've sanded the inner cap. It's shiny and I plan to paint it flat black to reduce reflections. In the blog, they used black felt and glued them on. Either one should work.  Here's the 82mm adapter sitting on top of the bottom cap. It's only a fit test. When you're ready, you will use epoxy to mend the bottom cap and adapter together.  This is what it should look like when it's completed. This is still a fit test too.  When I'm done, the filter holder will only have two filter slots. I think that's plenty for a good stack. Anyways, I used a GND to make sure there's clearance. Not a problem!  If you have questions. Please feel free to ask.
