Filters, step-up rings, adapter rings, holders… It is easy to become confused with the number of filter solutions and manufacturers on the market, but we have created an easy reference guide below. Currently there is not a go-to solution that fits all of the lenses available, but this guide will help you learn your options. We currently recommend the LEE SW150 for Phase One and Schneider LS lenses.

With this guide below you now know what filter thread each of your tech camera lenses are. Want to use a filter with a center filter on your lens? No problem, we’ve listed the filter thread for those center filters and what systems will work with that filter thread.

Which solution is right for you?

The Lee 4″ filter system will fit the majority of the filter threads in the Phase One / Mamiya Leaf / Schneider lines, with the exception of the larger zoom lenses like the 40-80mm LS or 75-150mm LS and wide lenses like the 35mm LS or 45mm LS. LEE developed a SW150 System Adapter which will allow the SW150 holder to be attached to many types of lenses. For example you can now attach a 105mm adapter ring to the SW150 Mark II Filter Holder to fit your 35mm LS or 40-80mm LS. Please note that the LEE 4″ filters will not fit the SW150 system. The size of the filters for the SW150 system is 150x170mm.

The Cokin X-Pro Filter System has the adapter rings for all but a few focal plane and shutter lenses (in the Phase One/Mamiya line up). The X-Pro is a great solution for the larger lenses with a 95mm filter thread (please note this is the highest filter thread Cokin goes to in the X-Pro line… The 105mm adapter ring has been discontinued). We recommend the 1.00mm pitch thread adapter rings for the Phase One / Mamiya Leaf / Schneider lines (The 1.00mm pitch thread adapter rings are currently being discontinued). The one caveat to the Cokin solution is that the filter size is 130mm x 170mm. So the Lee filters you might already own will NOT fit the Cokin X-Pro Filter Holder.

The Vü VFH-100mm system covers filter threads from 49mm to 82mm. The Vü VFH-100mm filter system has been discontinued.
