I received my Kenko polariser from Robert White today, and have tried it out already. Highly recommended!!! 😀

Look in the Accesory section and follow the link, how it works is explained there.
The filters are available in a large selection of sizes including 39, 40.5, 43 and 46
Very nicely finished piece of kit, OK the instructions are in Japanese but it is fairly self-explanitory how it works. :angel:

Attached are three photos of the R/F kit, its interesting to note that the Bessa R is featured on the Kenko packaging. I have shown it on the 28mm Ultron, however I have 46>43, and 46>39 adapters which will allow it be used on other lenses. You can use a double shoe in order to use an external finder as well. Photos taken with it will have to wait, as we are enjoying Noahs's flood in Scotland just now!!! :bang:

John,

Saw this item on RW's site, but couldn't get any more info. Thanks for the post. I'll try to obtain it stateside. If not, I'll e-mail RW.

Perhaps Camera Quest could be persuaded to stock it for US customers, if not RW will happily send it to you, they are a reliable and efficient company. 🙂
 
Just received mine, sourced from a friend in Japan. I can confirm that the polarizer finder will fit on a CV double shoe adapter with a 21mm finder, as long as the 21mm finder is on the left, due to its offset. You won't fit both if the 21imm finder is on the right.

Right! I actually use a Bessaflex hotshoe adaptor on my R2, so didn't have the problem. However be careful using a polarizer with a lens as wide as the 21, if you include a lot of sky, as you will find the sky only partly polarised and it can make the sky look very odd. There is a thing called the thumb rule, point your index finger at the sun as if it was a gun, your thumb will trace out the band of sky which will polarise as you rotate your hand. See below. :angel:
