LEE Filters will be heading to Burbank on Saturday, 16 May 2026, to exhibit at the  J.L. Fisher Industry Mixer & BBQ. We aren't going alone— we will be showcasing our latest lighting filtration innovations alongside our colleagues from our parent company, the Panavision Group, 


Why We Attend: Equipping the Set 

While J.L. Fisher is world-renowned for their precision camera dollies, jib arms, and microphone booms, the industry pros who rely on their gear are the same cinematographers and gaffers who use LEE’s lighting and camera filters.  

Panavision maintains one of the world's largest rental inventories of J.L. Fisher equipment, ensuring that every production has access to the industry standard in camera support. 

Our presence at the Mixer reinforces our commitment to providing a complete, integrated ecosystem for filmmakers—where world-class optics and lighting control meet precision camera movement. 
 

Spotlight on: 599 Nocturnal Blue 

The highlight of our display this year is 599 Nocturnal Blue, a revolutionary window gel specifically engineered for precise day-for-night colour conversion. 

For industry professionals, the technical advantages are clear: 

  • One Gel, Three Jobs: It combines Neutral Density and C.T Blue into a single-layer solution. Traditionally, gaffers would have to layer multiple filters to achieve this look, but 599 Nocturnal Blue provides a massive 8-stop reduction in one go. 

  • Adds Depth to Your Shot: Shoot inside for a day-for-night look while still seeing outdoors, including movement.  

  • On-Set Efficiency: By eliminating the need for complex layering, it significantly reduces setup time, material costs, and physical waste on set. 

 

Event Highlights for Cinematographers, Camera Operators & Gaffers 

Beyond the gear, the J.L. Fisher Mixer is a day of education and networking. Attendees can look forward to: 

  • Discussion with Team Deakins: A panel titled "Reflections on Cinematography" featuring legendary duo Roger and James Deakins. 

  • ASC & SOC Panels: Engaging sessions with the American Society of Cinematographers and the Society of Camera Operators. 

  • Facility Tours: Jim Fisher will lead behind-the-scenes tours of the J.L. Fisher manufacturing facility.
