[rollei_list] Re: Step Up Ring

Marc,

Just took you up on your Series VI adaptor idea and called Harrison and
Harrison in California.  I ordered 5 filters, a lens hood and a Series VI to
bay II adaptor (in my case) in a matter of minutes as H&H will sell direct.
The filters are a laminate and are non-coated at about $25 each.  I think
the hood and adaptor totaled around $20.  I was told by one of the Harrisons
that H&H doesn't coat their filters because many of these items are
purchased by rental houses catering to the motion picture industry.
Apparently the coatings wouldn't stand up (I guess to the abuse).

I have a Series VI to 37mm press on adaptor for my Zeiss Super Ikonta - it's
great, I can use the same filters on both cameras.

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.
