The making of Lee Filters

[MarkOne]

This is quite an interesting little video on how a Lee Filter is made.



Two things I noticed .............

1. There are no blokes working there !!!
2. Why don't they get it all automated?

Anyway, see what you think ...

There's a lot of work goes into that.

No wonder they cost a good few quid!

Or it could be that the Big Stopper is outsourced manufacturing in China, and a very high percentage of them are failing Lee quality control

Well I can't believe it - just got the telephone message from warehouse express - they're dispatching mine today - thats 3 months since I ordered it

1. There are no blokes working there !!!

I think its because it is believed that women have a better perception of colour and quality

It really is an archaic way of producing their products - almost like Cuban cigars rolled on the thighs of young nubile women!!

How wonderful that in the day and age of mass automation (and the general result being poorer quality products) that a company still makes something by hand. Wonderful. Explains the availability issues and wait times but to be honest, having seen that, I don't care :)

I got the Hitech one for £40 - delivered in 2 days by Teamworkphoto - will try it at the weekend.

Some chappies I know are experimenting with welding glass at less than £4 for a sizeable piece.

And then processing afterwards.
