I finally took my first step towards Lee filters by ordering the Foundation Kit, 77mm wide angle holder and 0.9 Soft GND.

Does anyone have the Lee Multi Pouch that can maybe confirm something for me, can you fit the Foundation Kit and Adapter ring in complete with say 4 100x150 resin filters? If yes how risky is scratching a filter or does this work really well? Can you slip the entire Foundation Kit complete with filter into the pouch?

The other thing that always did my head in was having to remove the adapter ring to fit the Lens cap before putting it back in my bag, 3 minutes later ready for another shot and out it all comes and you have to go through the entire process again, thinking the Lee caps will save all this hassle by simply removing the Foundation Holder complete with filter and stick a cap on. Yeah ok you could ask why put it away, well sometime the terrain is tricky and i find it safer with it in my back pack where it is protected until i reach the shot location.

I can see a set of 85mm Hitech soft nd grads plus 1.2 soft and hard being up for sale very soon.

The Multi-Pouch is just meant for 10 filters. I suppose you could sqeeze the holder in but I wouldn't risk it. The adapter ring could go in maybe, but same caveat applies. Dosn't the foundation kit come with it's own pouch any more?
I have bought 5 or 6 over the years and have just used those.
You could purchase the Lee white lens cap thing, sorry can't remember what it's called, then just leave the adapter on the lens.

Thanks for the reply, i thought i read somewhere that the mulit pouch could hold the ring and foundation holder so thought i would ask those that have it just to confirm. The Foundation Kit doesnt show a little pouch/case in the pics so guessing i dont get anything with it as such, defo going to order the lens cap cos that was the worst thing about the filters up till now.
 
Think the Foundation Kit still comes with a pouch (and screwdriver) -- ordered a Pro Kit the other week and that came with two.
 
I bought the Digital Starter kit which came with the three filter triple pouch. In the first section I can fit the filter holder with CPL attached. In the second section I've got my ND soft grad set(in filter wrap) and the third section 2 more filters.

Thanks for the confirmation on that, im sure i read this somewhere before. Think i will wait to see what comes before i order anything else, i only ordered 0.9 soft gnd to keep initial costs down. Of my Hitech filters that is the filter i have used the most so seemed sensible to start with that.
 
Mike,
Assuming you haven't bought the pouch yet, make sure you order the correct one.
The MULTI-POUCH is for 10 Filters.
The TRIPLE-POUCH is for 3 Filters.
They also make a leather one for 6 filters, don't know anyone who's bought one though, at £75 I think a bit dear !
Have look at www.speedgraphic.co.uk for more info.
