Title: Filter system(polarizer, grad ND, stopper) for Sigma 105mm f1.4?
Post by: -chrille- on July 31, 2018, 03:49:06 am

Hi,

I am searching for a filter system for use with Sigma Art 105mm f1.4. This lens have a very large front lens element and a 105mm filter thread. Are there any filter systems that will fit this lens? I will use a circular polarizer, a set of grad nd-filters and one nd-filter of 10 or more in density.

The Lee 100 x 150 mm base system uses a 105 mm adapter and offers a 105 mm polarizer.

I first thought the 100x150mm system would be too small to this lens. Is it going to work without any problems like vignetting? According to specification the field of view is approx 24 degrees on full frame sensor so it is quite narrow as it is a short tele lens. I am not sure how deep the Lee system is but I dont think it is deeper than the original lens shade hood and then it might be good to go with Lee system.

Why not ask Lee Filters? FWIW, if you don't want the Lee 105mm CPL, I believe B&W also makes that size.

Of course I can ask the manufacturer(and I will do so) but I find user experience are of a high importance before buying products. Thank you for input  :)

There are several 150mm wide filter systems. I've not tried them, but NiSi makes a complete system. Here is a link to the 150mm filter holder.

There are links to the filters as well.

Breakthrough and Formatt-Hitech also make 105mm polarizers.
