Lee Filters Lee BIG Stopper

The Big Stopper is almost a classic for the Lee Filter System. It reduces exposure by 10 stops, opening up many possibilities for use. For example, it can be used to make places appear deserted or to render water like a light mist. It is definitely a must-have for any landscape photographer.

The Big Stopper absorbs light by 10 stops, meaning you extend the shutter speed by 10 stops. This high extension factor allows for special creative effects. The subject of the shot can receive a soft focus or ghosting effect. This effect is particularly interesting when capturing clouds, waterfalls, rivers, or other moving objects. When used with the LEE filter holder, the filter can be applied to all common lenses. The ability to combine it with other effect and graduated filters opens up countless possibilities for creative image design.
