It is part 6d 55EI-54EA. This was ordered in by Reid Sweet along with the stepping ring Greg now has. The one problem with this adaption on the Elmarit is the hood will not clear some 55mm filters. There was a trim ring on the second section of the hood I had to remove to allow it to extend while these filters were attached. Before ordering one of these adapter rings, check to see of your hood will extend past the filter. This is especially important with polarizers which can be rather large.
