Pretty Neutral. NO FRONT THREADS???

I'm blown away as to why this filter doesn't have any front threads. It wasn't advertised as being slim or thin, so why doesn't it have front threads? No, I don't want to stack filters, I just want to use a friggin' lens cap! Its really a pain having to unscrew the filter, put it in a case, and re-apply every time I want to move the camera with a lens cap on. That being said, the image quality is quite good. No color shift when the sun isn't in frame. Shooting directly into the sun you get a slight magenta shift to the resulting lens flare. I shoot mostly around 100ISO, f/16, 1/2 second shutter in full sun. Good shutter speed for blurring traffic and pedestrians in daytime urban landscape photography. Could also be good for blurring traffic at night. Does not vignette on a Canon 16-35 lens and 5DMK3 or 6D.

Will this work with a Lee filter holder?

Asked by: Jim
If you purchase the LEE Filters Side Guide Screws 1/2" - Package of 4, B&H # LES.5, for use with the holder included in the LEE Filters Foundation Kit, then yes, it will allow you to use thicker 4mm glass filters such as the Formatt Hitech 4x4" HD ND 0.9 Glass Filter (3-Stop), B&H # FOND.9444, with the LEE Filters holder.
