Canon Drop-In Gelatin Filter Holder
Best filter solution for super-telephoto lens users needing quick gel adjustments.
This essential adapter solves the filter problem for massive telephoto lenses that lack front threads. It’s a simple, utilitarian solution that lets you swap gels in seconds, though it requires you to manually cut your own filters to size rather than relying on standard screw-on glass.
