Hi all -
I'm a little uncertain as to which size of Lee push-on filter holder I would require for these two lenses.
I thought I'd read somewhere that the 100mm was the right one for the 72XL, but on Robert White's site, it seems to imply that the 115mm is necessary when also using center filter IVb (which is the center filter for the 72XL), possibly also along with a 115>100mm "donut spacer".
Schneider's lens chart gives the following:
72XL: 95mm thread, 100mm maximum diameter of front mount
210 Apo L: 77mm thread, 80mm maximum diameter of front mount
Does that imply that the 100mm push-on is indeed the correct one to use with the 72XL, even if the center filter is also attached?
Would I be correct in assuming that for the 210, I don't need to utilise a push-on holder, and instead can just use a standard adapter ring?
It's all very confusing, and any guidance would be much apprecaited as this stuff is expensive, and I'm mail ordering it "blind" from the UK to the UAE (I don't even have the lenses yet, and this is my first leap into the LF world).
TIA :)
