Subject: [rollei_list] Harrison and Harrison filters



Hi,
I just received the bayonet II to series VI adaptor, a series VI lens hood and six series VI filters from Harrison and Harrison. These are for my Rollei 3.5F. The adaptor and hood are very well made. However, at first blush, the filters look rather "industrial" as they probably are - the movie industry. Some of the filters have their name/number stamped right on the filter glass itself. I guess the nomenclature will be hidden once screwed into the adaptor. The filters are not coated, but I knew that at time of order. The price for the package was very inexpensive compared to B+W, etc.
But... Jeez all this concern about great lenses only to hang a cheap filter in front if it. Kinda kicking myself and am just hoping the photos make my 
concerns go away.

Try cleaning the filters, the print should come off. I have never heard of printing anything on the glass and there should be nothing there. If the printing will not come off return the filters and buy some other brand. _Anything_ on the filter glass will degrade the image. Also, the filter type should be marked on the rim. The only unmarked filters I've ever seen were plain gelatin, which, of course, can't be marked.
