LEE Filter Holder - WHEN???!!!

Ive had the Lee filter holder and 77mm wide angle adapter on "Notify" at BH for at least a month and who knows how long theyve been out since before I did that...

Anyone have an idea when they might be available or another seller that may have them? Ive already checked all the main ones (BH, Adorama, Cameta, Canoga, etc.).

how about 2filters.com

Still saving for the same. What filters are you going for? Good luck.

Unfortunately, this has been going on for a while. Lee just can't keep with the demand. I would check ebay if you're really desperate.

Put your order in with 2filter and you'll get it when you get it. Same deal with the Big Stopper.

I heard something about Lee having some damaged production gear so that they had to make new moulds for the filter holders. Just a rumor though...

2filter is out, too. I did find another site quoteing availability on October 8th, so we'll see.

Im looking for the foundation kit, 77mm wide angle adapter, the singh ray reverse GND, and some Hitech GND's.

edit - the 77mm wide angle adapter is available again.

Call Allen's Camera in Philly. It's where I've gotten all of my Lee stuff recently. Since they don't sell anything through their website, they get lower traffic and can usually keep up with demand. Damn fine people too.

Dang I just got back from Philly.

Yea, lots of us are waiting for the Lee stuff to come back in stock. Just a waiting game I guess...

I spoke with Allen today. He has been on the phone with Lee this morning. They're back-logged on stuff worldwide. Just can't keep up with the demand. I asked him about stock, and he has some filters, no holders, some adapter rings (no 77mm).

Originally when I started with Lee, I had a tad bit of sticker shock. That passed though. Filter wise, they're competitive, and in some places cheaper, than Singh-Ray, and produce similar quality materials. Glad that I was able to get my stuff all within a couple days.

It sounds like Lee needs to think about expanding their capacity if they're always this behind. I just hope they don't start making stuff in China.

The filter holder is available on BH as of this morning...77mm adapter rings are still out of stock though...

Thanks. Ordered the holder. Now I have to wait until the adapter comes in. Kind of wierd though. I originally selected notify when in stock and I never got notified.

I purchased both a 77mm regular and thin mount adapter ring. The thin mount really is the only way to go on anything wider than 35mm on FF. It's more expensive, but worth it.

I've been waiting for a 2-stop hard since the end of May. Maybe I should just cancel it and order one from Singh-Ray. At least for that, I have an option (and already have .9 hard and soft as well as .6 soft in hand). If I were waiting for the holder or any of the adapter rings, I'd be really upset. Wonder what it'll take for them to get pulled together.
