This doesn't answer your question but if you are likely to need obscure adapter rings then you might like to know about a UK company that specialise in selling, or making to order, such things, who I have used for a few otherwise unobtainable (or extremely hard to locate, which is almost the same thing) items. They are; SRB Film Service, 286 Leagrave Road, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU31 1 RB, U.K. tel: + 44 (0)582 572471 fax: +44 (0)582 572535 and they have a rather poorly-serviced (ie infrequently checked) email address which is SRBFILM@AOL.COM You might to ask for their catalogue- it looks a bit down-market but they made a few bits and pieces for me that work very well, like Cokin P adapter rings for 60mm filter-thread lenses, an adaptor to use a Leitz lens head on a Rollei SL66 body, and such items.
