series V - need info

[back alley]

i am attaching a pic of some filters i picked up recently.
they are series V but screw in type.
they both fit (screw onto) a lens shade i also happened to pick up (but seperately).

i don't know know what size they are, that's my problem.
they do not fit a 34 mm filter size and they measure (on my steel ruler) what looks like 33 maybe 32 mm.
any ideas and does anybody need them. they sure are pretty but i have no need for them.

Joe, Series V filter size is 33.5 mm, Series VI size is 44mm. The ones you have won't screw into anything. My guess is you need a Series V adapter, e.g. Series V 32mm adapter, which is threaded in 32mm on the lens side, and in 33.5mm on the side which takes accessories....

However, if you don't need these, I'd be interested...
Throw in another 48mm filter or a hood (my Canonet from FrankS is on the way!), and I'll trade you for my shutter tester. I've sent one to Gordon Coale, and he'll be able to provide feedback, I hope 🙂

Somehow I think I'll have a hard time finding a 48mm hood 🙁
I think my best bet will be to get a 48-49mm step up ring, so I can use my 49mm accessories...

denis, thanks for the info.
the filters screw onto that shade in the pic. or more accurately, the shade screws onto the filters. the filters have threads on both sides.
the local camera shop has 48mm rubber lens shades and some 48mm filters. i jus bought another 48 yellow last week.
i can pick up either or both for you this weekend.
let me know.

I wrote "The ones you have won't screw into anything" - what I meant, is that you probably won't find any lenses that those filters/hoods will screw directly onto - at least I never heard of 33.5mm lens thread (doesn't mean that there aren't any, though).

What I meant to say is that you need lens thread to Series V (33.5) adapter (step up, usually from 32 or 33 to 33.5). Those Series V filters could go on my Rolleiflex, since I have Bay I to Series V adapter, and that adapter will take any Series V accessory. Makes it a lot cheaper than original Bay I accessories for Rolleiflex 🙂
BTW, I use Yashica TLR shade on R-flex - also a lot cheaper than anything with "Rollei" written on it....

As for 48mm rubber shade, it would be great!!! I want one, and a yellow filter!
Pretty please..... 🙂

Will send you a PM later, thanks!

hey dinis,

i understood your meaning, but only after i posted.
gotta stay off the internet when i'm not feeling well.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Joe 🙁
Maybe some of Frank's medicine would help? (See recent posts in "Camera and Coffee"....)
I know when my stomach's feeling queasy, some home-made brandy helps.... Hm, hard to describe that golden liquid as "brandy".... More like a heavenly nectar 😉
I see a new interesting thread coming.... 🙂

just a touch of stomach flu.
i'm catching up on my furniture moving while not going in to work.

Stomach flu?!
I have just the right thing for you - in fact, I'm sipping it as I write this 🙂

Here, have a sip....

That's what our Italian friends would call "grappa" - i.e. homemade "brandy" from leftover (squeezed) grapes, seasoned with some Mediterranean berries, which you can still see in the bottle. Pure medicine, I tell you!
And, besides, this one isn't hard to swallow at all 😀

my dad woud sip one glass of blackberry brandy whenever he 'felt a cold coming on'.

i'm embarrased to admit that, as an italian, i have never tasted grappa, but thanks for the offer. maybe if i ever make it to croatia...

Now, let me see if I can lure you... 😀

How about this - it's the place where the grappa comes from (island of Hvar, where my wife is from, and where we go every now and then...)
You mentioned snow a few days ago 😀

BTW, sorry, but the above shot was not a RF camera - it was a Nikon with 24/2.8 Nikkor.

Some more - this is the exact location where all the best wines (and the grappa!) come from - place called Sveta Nedjelja, on the southern coast of the island of Hvar.... Grapes and lavender.... You can imagine the smell during the summer... Have you ever smelled a lavender field?

So, how about a visit to Croatia? 😀
