I received my holder today, the 77mm W/A adapter is still on backorder, but had a question for you. The holder came assembled with the bits for the slots on this side:

HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE


However, every picture I've seen of the LEE holder has had the brass screw inserts showing from the front so I moved them like this:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE


Can you tell me which is correct? Sorry about the awful pictures. ;)

Thank you for your help.

you'll know if you got it right when you try and fit it to the adapter ring on the lens...

The adapter ring is inserted from the back of the holder. :)

Do you have a pic of the holder off of the camera Julian? I'm sure, as stated, it will become obvious when I finally get the adapter ring, but I'm still curious.

Also, would you run a Adorama/Century Optics adapter ring or just wait until the LEE becomes available? I have the COKIN Z-Pro that's getting me by for now.

Thank you for the help. ;)

I don't have any with the filter holder off the camera but, I'll make some sample images in the near future. I would wait for the Lee adapter ring. Why waste money on something that will just get thrown in a bin? :)

Here's another image with the rear view of my filter holder. It probably doesn't help you much but, it'll give you an idea.

Actually, that does help. Looks like it was right to begin with and that yours has the brass inserts showing on both sides and mine only on the one. That's what was confusing me.

Thank you and I agree on the Adorama ring. I guess I just needed a push. ;)

No problem Robert. I'm glad to be of service. :)
