Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just had to order Lee 1/8 CT orange from Germany. I assume Panalux and so on have some, but that's for big American movies. For (*£$'s sake. It's made here. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Black Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 They seem to have it at stage electronics: http://www.stage-electrics.co.uk/shop/sales/lighting/colour-filter-and-gel/sheets---lee-led-colour/product.aspx?code=499-8606 Also wondered a mild straw gel would work or if it has to be CTO?

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 16, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thomann are actually cheaper, including shipping from Burgebrach. Seriously. And Stage Electrics don't actually have any. It's on preorder. Thomann don't have heat shield, though. Which brings us down to the real question, which is: why is there a shop.leefiltersusa.com, but not a shop.leefilters.com for the UK? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I've had one off items made by Panavision in their machine shop, so it's worth contacting Panalux for single rolls of lighting gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 16, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 16, 2015 I assume that you were part of some enormous production at the time, though. I can't imagine they'd give me the time of day. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 No, I just rang them up and asked if they'd make it for me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 16, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 16, 2015 Crikey. I assume you had to drive a transit van full of gold bullion down there in recompense for this largesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 LOL No, they also sell T shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I always used to buy rolls and part rolls from Lee Lighting, before they were Panalux. They had them on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Presumably you tried these who claim to stock it. http://www.directphotographic.co.uk/consumables/lightinggels.asp#correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 17, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 17, 2015 I didn't. I did try a few places with "photographic" in the title, but it's quite difficult to google searches to differentiate between places that sell the Lee camera filters, and people who sell their lighting range. But for pity's sake, this shouldn't be difficult. One of the places on Lee's own "find a dealer" map is out of business, or at least their website is a 403.

Mark Dunn Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I got that one off their map. I used to get the odd sheet of 80A and ND off SRB but those days seem to be over. Edited August 17, 2015 by Mark Dunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
