In this spirit, I stuck a 67mm Cokin filter adaptor onto a 50mm Zeiss Distagon for my Hasselblad. Series VIII and 67mm appear to be almost the same, but for thread pitch, which meant that the 67mm adaptor only screws in about 1/2 way, then begins to bind, but it holds securely. I put a bit of muscle into this, and couldn't seem to cause any damage to the (chromed brass) threading of the lens, so I simply leave it in place. It is much easier to get Cokin-sized filters! >>Does anyone know where I can a step ring from the serries VIII thread on >>the 24mm R 2.8 to either a 62 or 72 mm so that I can put a Wratten filter >>holder on the front of the lens.
