Lynx 5000 Filter Size ?

[Austintatious]

Does anyone know what size filter a Lynx 5000 is? I read somewhere that it was 52mm. I bought a 52mm filter for it and it is too large.

Thanks for your help!

You need to use 46mm filters on the Lynx.

Mike, that sounds more like it.
Thanks !

do not use a 46-52 ring adapter, it'll lock your shutter ring. Screwing in a 46mm filter is fine. But I know for sure any adapters from 52mm up will lock the shutter ring.

Speed ring, more specifically. For this reason I don't use also 46mm screw-in lens hood on 5000.

btw other night I saw another Petri Computor with 54mm clamp-on hood which happily fits Petri 7s and Lynx 5000, too
