LEE FILTERS FHWAAR55C Wide Angle Adapter Ring 55mm for 100mm System

Machined from solid aluminium and engineered to sit just 4.5mm proud of your lens, the LEE FILTERS FHWAAR55C wide-angle adapter ring lets you mount a full 100mm filter holder on any 55mm front thread without vignetting—even at ultra-wide focal lengths.

Overview

The LEE FILTERS FHWAAR55C is a dedicated wide-angle adapter ring for the LEE 100mm filter system. It screws directly into the 55mm filter thread of your lens and provides a secure, light-tight connection for the 100mm filter holder (such as the Foundation Kit). The ring’s low-profile design keeps the holder as close to the lens as possible, which is critical for wide-angle photography where any extra distance can cause corner darkening. Made in the UK from black anodised aluminium, it combines strength with minimal weight, so it won’t unbalance your setup.

What stands out

• Wide-angle optimised: slim profile reduces vignetting on lenses down to ultra-wide focal lengths.
• Precision 55mm thread: machined to exact tolerances for a smooth, wobble-free fit.
• Durable metal construction: black anodised aluminium resists corrosion and everyday wear.
• Full 100mm system compatibility: works with LEE 100mm filter holders and all standard 100mm filters.
• Made in the UK: manufactured to LEE Filters’ professional standards.
