Filter holder systems – Maximum control for your photography

Anyone who wants to photograph landscapes, architecture, or long exposures professionally quickly reaches their limits with conventional round filters. Filter holder systems offer a superior solution: more control, more flexibility, and maximum image quality. But what actually makes a good filter holder system?

Why a filter holder system?

For demanding shots, simple screw-in filters are often no longer sufficient. Multiple exposures, strong contrasts, and changing lighting conditions require the ability to precisely combine different filter types. A high-quality filter holder system enables:

  • ✅ Flexible combination of multiple filters simultaneously (e.g. GND, ND, CPL)
  • ✅ Exact positioning of gradient filters (sky / horizon)
  • ✅ Convenient filter change in the shortest possible time
  • ✅ Maximum image quality without vignetting and color shifts
  • ✅ Secure hold and reliable sealing against dust and splash water

What should a good system be able to do?

A filter holder system is an investment for many years, making it all the more important to pay attention to quality and details. The following points characterize a truly practical system:

  • ✅ Sturdy holder made of high-quality aluminum or metal
  • ✅ Expandable slot for 2 to 3 rectangular filters
  • ✅ Perfect sealing without light penetration during long exposures
  • ✅ Easy, precise adjustment of the polarization filter
  • ✅ Secure and firm fit on the lens
  • ✅ Compatibility with standard 100mm filters

The FILTERFOTOGRAF® LC-PRO 100 rectangular filter system

With the LC-PRO 100 system from FILTERFOTOGRAF®, a professional filter holder system was developed specifically for use in landscape and travel photography – directly from the practice of a professional photographer.

The highlights at a glance:

  • Magnetic slim CPL filter with side adjustment wheel for precise polarization – can also be operated with gloves
  • Modular insert for up to 3 ND and GND rectangular filters in 100mm standard
  • Expandable system – can be adjusted from 2 to 3 filter slots at any time
  • 100% light tightness for perfect long exposures
  • Extremely slim design – minimal vignetting, maximum image quality even at ultra-wide angle
  • Made from CNC-machined aircraft aluminum – maximum stability with low weight

Why is a filter holder system worthwhile?

A filter holder system opens up creative possibilities that are hardly possible with screw-on filters: position soft or harsh gradients precisely on the horizon, combine several filters individually and work precisely even under difficult conditions.

Especially for long exposures, sunsets, mountains, waterfalls or high-contrast situations, a professional filter holder is indispensable in order to achieve perfect image results directly from the camera - without complex post-processing.
