I was trying to get a UV filter for my 150 ssxl, i bought a B+W silm 95mm filter, and it will touch the front element. does the regular 95mm B+W filter have enough clearance?

The Heliopan should work. If you are in north NJ you might want to drop by and see.
Im afraid you may find no easy way to accomodate filters on your 150 SSXL. I gave up after fruitlessly searching for solutions and eventually had some custom step up rings made for the 112mm filters that I had by SK Grimes.
I've gotten to where I just hold filters up in place, or tape them on using that blue painter's maskig tape. I never find I need a UV filter though. Polarizer sometimes, colored filters sometimes, but never a UV.

Hi Songyun,
I use a Heliopan on my 150 XXL and it is clear of the front element.
I'm not sure if it is the regular or slim version.
The rim is marked : E 95 UV 0.
I hve also heard of a new Lee hood/filter system for 150 mm square
filters-- has anyone seen one of these yet ?

Warren, There is no choice. It since it is not a polarizer or a graduated ND filter it is only available in slim with front threads as that has been the only mount Heliopan has made for years. It is only with polarizers is there a choice since the slim Heliopan polarizers do not have front threads. Even the new Heliopan Variable ND filter is only made in a slim mount. That is the only exception to what mount Heliopan offers for rotating filters. But it is considerably thicker then the rim on a UV filter.
