The cheapest alternative would be to purchase a Series VI to Bayonet III adapter ring, some Series filters, and a Series VI lens hood from Harrison and Harrison in California. These are REALLY high quality items and the cost is surprisingly low. Series filters are drop-in filters: you place the filter in the Series adapter ring then screw the lens hood over this to hold the filter in place. I regularly use such a rig on my 2.8F and a H&H Bayo I rig on my Automat, though I do have a metal Rollei hood and filters for my 2.8GX. And I use a Series VII to B50 rig on most of my Hasselblad lenses.
