Post by: rxinfographics on November 29, 2015, 07:58:50 am
Not sure if this topic is address already --had not seen such.  But question is: for other to address--I also have asked Lee to address this question on their website but then have not and its been weeks without a reply thus wanted to ask the pros here
--------------------------------------------
Hello: Please advise on the following. I have the lee 100X system which includes big/little stopper and soft grad. and 105 mm polarizer.  I have search the camera forums and no is able to put specific down as to what lee system and EXACT components to buy, so I will ask it here and ask you to put in the forums so other may benefit

What do I need to buy in the lee system for the Tamron 15-30

1) What System? Size?
2) What Filter sizes in big/little stopper,grad and polarizer?
3) What are the specific components to buy??

Thank you

Have you tried phoning them and talking to their technical department?  Try your professional camera / photo shop.

Good luck,
Brian

For the ultrawide you can't use the 100 system you need to use the Lee 150 which means new holders and new filters.
See here for compatibility http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/camera/system-sw150

Personally for ultra wide I use the Nisi 150 system. Aside from being a bit cheaper I find the holder to be far superior to the Lee 150. It's machined out of aluminium is 1 piece and is far, far simpler to attach to the lens.

Filter wise you can use Nisi or Lee 150mm filters with the holder.

Nisi do appear to make a holder for the Tamron as it's talked about on this post from Fstoppers. https://fstoppers.com/originals/fstoppers-reviews-nisi-150mm-filter-system-77419
