$228.00 $303.24

The LEE 100x100mm 81 Light Balancing Filterfrom LEE 100x100mm 81 Light Balancing Filteris compatible with a LEE Filters 100mm System filter holder. It is uniform in color and with a mired shift value of +9, can be applied to purposely create a warm cast over an entire image. This effect can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. The Lee Filters 100 x 100mm 81 Light Balancing Filter is also useful for balancing light sources with a color temperature of 3300K for type B tungsten film, which is designed to accurately reproduce colors under 3200K light sources.


This filter is made of optical-quality resin and measures 2.0mm thick. A padded pouch is also included with the filter.


When used, the Lee Filters 100 x 100mm 81 Light Balancing Filter's 0.1 density darkens the entire image by 0.3 stops. This reduction in exposure can be compensated for by adjusting the aperture setting of the lens it is placed on, or the shutter speed of the camera being used.


The light balancing filters for type B tungsten film are designed to correct for the color temperatures over 3200K, and are considered to be progressively stronger in their effect when used to add warmth to a daylight image.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. On the Lee Filters website, their Triple Pouch is described as featuring "belt loops on the back" (https://leefilters.com/camera/lee100/accessories/ and then scroll down the page). However, the image photo on the Lee Filters website differs from the one shown here on the B&H website. Does this version that B&H sells include belt loops on the back? Thank you!

A: This particular Lee Filter Pouch for 4 x 4 Filters lacks a belt loop. The same model as link in your inquiry is the LEE Filters Triple Pouch for 100 x 100mm Filters, BH # LE100TFFP which does include the belt loop. https://bhpho.to/3KwrWqZ

Q: 2. will this filter holder work on 67mm tamron 28-200 lens with the right adapter ring???

A: Yes.

Q: 3. Will this filter holder fit on the Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 lens?

A: The LEE Filters LEE100 Filter Holder is incompatible with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S Lens. Instead, get the NiSi 100mm Filter Holder for Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S Lens, BH #NIP100NZ1424.

Q: 4. I bought this filter holder for my Sony A7r3, moving from the older 100 filter system. With the new filter holder, using the 16-35 f2.8 Sony G Master Lens at 16 mm I got the black side of the holder showing? I have to zoom in a bit a little under 20mm. Is that a known issue, Any way to fix it? As a landscape photographer I photograph a lot at 16mm while using my filters. This could be an issue, Any Suggestions?

A: Use a LEE Filters 82mm Wide-Angle Lens Adapter Ring for 100mm System Filter Holder B&H # LEARWA82 and remove one of LEE Filters Side Guides that should do it

Q: 5. Can someone tell me if my B&W XS-Pro Kaesemann Nano circular polarizer can be used in this holder? Or must one use a Lee polarizer?

A: You can use any filter as long as it has 105mm threads.

Q: 6. Why can i only buy 2 of these? I'd like 4 but the store gives me this warning? The maximum quantity allowed for the LEFP44 -- Filter Pouch for 4 x 4 Filter (Black) is 2. Please select a smaller quantity.

A: We have set a limit on 2 per order to help control inventory. You can call and speak with a sales agent at 800-947-6628 to see if we are able to lift the restriction.

Q: 7. How many stops of "filter factor" does this filter exhibit?

A: The Kase 100x100mm Wolverine Neutral Night Light Pollution Filter will cut about two stops of light.

Q: 8. Can the polarizer be used without the adapter utilizing another ring directly to the lens?

A: No, the adapter must b used.

Q: 9. Is it ok to have a space between a filter and the mounted polarizer?

A: Yes, it is okay to have a space between the filter and the polarizer in the LEE Filters LEE100 Filter Holder.

[6 x 5.2 x 0.5"] this is a good filter. I've used 81A filters for years. I know lots of people don't like 'em but this helps punch up my images besides warming them a tad. I use these on most of my outside lenses.

[0.14 lb] I use the 81B all the time on my DSLRs with the WB set to daylight, for scenics where it cuts haze, for flash, backlit and in-shade people-pictures, and in overcast. The light-loss is small and the effect seldom if ever too warm.

Incidentally other colour-correcting/-balancing filters are still useful, keeping the same daylight WB. That setting is right for interiors lit by incandescent or fluorescent, with an 80A or FL-Day over the lens. Those two really come into their own with mixed lighting, e.g. an interior with daylight coming through the windows.

B&H's price was reasonable for this large size and the shipping prompt and efficient.

[6 x 5.2 x 0.5"] Really nice dark tone ; cuts the green and red really well and amplifies blue tones on b&w film. Perfect filter for RGB processing (with the green #58 and the red #25). The rigid plastic case that comes with it is also pretty useful.

[6 x 5.2 x 0.5"] The 77mm 81A filter is a much better choice then a standard UV lens. Creates warmer tones and brighter colors on overcast days or when shooting with an electronic flash. I'm extremely happy with this filter. I'm using it on a Nikkor 12-24 1:4 G ED Lens.
