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.
