Could anyone tell me what ND filters are available for the Rolleiflex 2.8C, I use a B+W ND 3.0 (110) on my Mamiya RZ67 and Nikon D700's and was hoping that there are some available for my new Rollei.

john.
 
I found a Bay III to Series 6 adapter on ebay. The Bay III hood actually fits over the adapter as if the adapter were a normal filter. It's a Tiffen #634 Series #6 Adapter Ring. I think I paid about $10.00 for it.
 
As a matter of fact Rollei themselves did produce ND filters, grey factor 2 and grey factor 4.
They could be had for all 4 bayonet sizes. No doubt collectors items these days !
 
I just bought a 2.8C. I sent it out to get a Maxwell screen put in. I generally only shoot film on sunny days and have a ZoneSimpe technique on my web site that allows you to shoot at 1/250 of a second at f2.8, and 1/125 of a second at f4 if you are shy of using 1/500 except under special circumstances, without an ND filter. You get longer scale and an ideal negative for printing or scanning. There are downloads so you can try the process. It's all free. If you try the Rollinars, which I bought and intend to try, you won't be able to use ND filters anyway. Same goes for the wide and tele Mutars.
