Hi all, this is my first post here. I'm really happy to have found this site and look forward to getting to know everyone.
I just picked up a set of filters for my Widelux on the Bay and when I opened the case the following were inside:
C4
C8
C12
W2
W4
SL
I always thought that the original filter set contained the following as seen at Jumboprawn.net
UV
W2
C4
YA2
Y2
ND2
So, anyone think I got scammed? I don't know what to think. I didn't even know some of these were ever made. In the mean time I've got no ND to work with, which was a major reason for the purchase. Oh, and the seller has so far not returned my emails about this...
Sorry for the long 1st post.
Thanks,
B.

Do they fit Widelux?
The camera was produced for some decades, there could be changes in assortment. A fake is very unlikely for this kind of obscurity item.

Thanks for the reply. That's true about years of production but I believe the filters were only made for the F7 and F8. But you might just be right. I've just never heard of some of them. Especially the cooling 12.
They are all in metal widelux frames with embossed letters and numbers in the metal...

The Widelux hase been produced since 1948 in both 35mm - F6, F7 and F8, and 120 versions - 1500. The filter kit has a UV, W2 & C4 (warming & cooling), YA2 (orange), Y2 (yellow), and ND2 (neutral density). There certainly might have been other filters produced.
