How do you fix your Lee filter holder if there's no thread?
Absolutely sure. The front element of the lens is so convex that a normal filter thread would not be possible. The Lee holder uses a three-part collar arrangement that screws on from behind the dismounted lens. The filter holder, using 170x150mm filters, then clips on to the collar. A pair of baffles can then be added behind the holder to prevent light leaking in to the assembly from the rear.
