Film Folder Filter Sizes

Made this boyo's day, even if it zero outside...thanks. You saved me much search time and grief...

Glad to help! I thought I might pass along some additional information, for anyone who might be searching for these...

If you have an unthreaded lens the key piece is going to be the push-on (also called "press-on", "slip-on", etc.) adapter since everything else mounts to that. But sometimes the hardest part is finding the particular size you need. One source which typically has a good selection is eBay seller macintoshcat. His price is very reasonable (especially for eBay!), and I like it that he makes a point of including a retaining ring with each adapter. If nothing else, his ads (such as this one for Series VI adapters), are useful just to see the list of adapter sizes that were made for a given series.

Another source that typically has a good selection is Songofsnow.com. They are more expensive unfortunately, but I suppose if you are on a hunt for a difficult-to-find size and aren't willing to wait, then it might be worth it! You can check out what they have in my favorite size on their Series VI adapters and hoods page, and their Series VI filters page.
 
BobBill......Harbor Freight Tools has a set of plastic calipers to about $2 that are accurate enough to measure for slip-on filter holders. You're going to have to go to Ebay to look for the holders and filters
 
Yea Yea Muchas Gracias!

Odd I have the instant email thingy marked and nothing happens, so if I am late, sorry.
 
I went cheap and simple...one red, one K2, Series VIII size...but still looking for more appropriate methods...
