Some of you may remember my article about a do-it-yourself square filter holder that I built back in 2010. By then, there was no commercially available adaptor ring or filter holder system for the Canon TS-E 17mm L.

Now, things have changed and it comes in as really excellent news: Lee Filters are offering a 100mm adaptor ring for this specific lens.

Here is what they write about it on their website:
"This new ring will adapt the Foundation kit filter holder to fit the Canon 17mm TS-E lens and will allow more than half of the total amount of movement that is normally possible with this lens before vignetting - we feel that this is adequate for most uses and using the smaller 100mm system will allow the use of popular 100mm filters such as the Big Stopper and Proglass range. You can even use the 105mm polariser if you allow for a small amount of cutoff at the corners."

I have just ordered one and will be very happy to use the Big Stopper and the polarizer, even if it means that I'll have to live with the corners to be cut off a bit.
