LEE Filters ClearLee Filter Cleaning Kit

In the course of the average photographic day, filters can be exposed to all sorts of potentially damaging conditions – from rain to sand to salt spray from the sea – not to mention ending up covered in grubby fingerprints from being handled.

Keeping filters clean not only increases their lifespan, it also means images retain their clarity and sharpness, as the sort of softness that arises as a result of using a dirty filter can be almost impossible to correct in postproduction – as many photographers will have learned to their cost.

Launched last year to great acclaim, ClearLEE Filter Wash quickly developed a reputation for being a highly effective filter cleaner and has developed a loyal following among photographers. Manufactured to LEE Filters’ own formulation, it is designed to cut through dirt and grease quickly, efficiently and above all, safely. Being suitable for use on both resin and glass filters, it is equally as effective on Stopper and ND grads as it is on the newer, high-end ProGlass IRND filters.

Now, LEE Filters has made the ClearLEE Filter Wash available as a Cleaning Kit, combining the filter wash – in its 50ml aluminium spray bottle – with a brand new microfibre cloth. Together, they give your customer everything they need to ensure their filters remain free of marks and smudges, allowing them to get on with the job of creating images. The bottle is small enough to fit in the pocket of a camera bag, so it’s on hand whenever it’s needed while out on a shoot.
