Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

The problem is the 87 is opaque. Therefore one has to screw it on, and then screw it off. With the inexpensive Lee system (Not the standard holder with adapter rings) you slip the filter in and slip it off. The holder is attached to teh camera lens with rubber bands.

B&H Photo lists it as....
The Gel Snap is Lee's easy and affordable filter holder. Simply insert your 4 x 4" filter, snap it shut, and "snap" it on to any lens 82mm or smaller using the included "Elastomeric Tension Device", also known as an "E.T.D.", i.e, rubber band. 

This kit consists of the Lee Gel Snap and some 3 x 3" cardboard gel frames (with a 4 x 4" outer size). $37.95

Lee 87 4"x4" Polyester Filter......$37.95

  Hi Diane,

  The tiffen filter 87  is selling for $115, which is still terribly
  expensive, but at least It's within range of affordability. The bigger
  sizes are much more expensive than the smaller ones.
