The filter screws in. What lens do you have?

I have a problem to attach filter holder to the center filter not the center filter to the lens.

The center filter is threaded in front. If you want to use another filter with it, get one that fits and screw it in. Using a filter holder like Lee is a bad idea, risks vignetting.

Vincent, what lens do you have, where you want to use the center filter?

The 2007 Schneider Center Filter brochure says the Center Filter IV front accepts 105mm filters.

I am using Nikkor 90mm F4.5
It is wide lens so I do need a center filter for almost every scene.

Yes but the thing is that I am going to use at least 2 more filters so I do need filter holder so I can add 2 or 3 more filters.For instance: Center filter + Big Stopper + split ND.Do you get me?

Vincent, if I understand the Lee system correctly you want their SW 150 screw-in lens adapter, SW 150 filter holder and 150 mm filters. And you need to hope that you won't get vignetting with all that stuff in front of the CF. Their 100 mm filters will vignette.

Is there a step-up ring for those sizes? Cheapest way out, and no vignetting. Ok, well for multiple filters this idea won't work.

The spec says 82mm front filter threads, 85mm slip-on front and 70mm slip-on back.
