Now I see the little notice in the upper right hand corner of page 49 of the B+W catalog that says: B+W Series Filters. Filter glass in mounts without threads that are placed into special holders and are held in place with a retaining ring or a lens hood. Available in sizes Series 4 to Series 10b. Brian Bowers say the lens takes S7 filters and at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/photo/filters/glass/bw/polarizer.html it lists a Kaesemann Linear Polarizer S7 for $108.95. Over a hundred bucks is still pretty steep. Originally I misread a previous size chart http://www.bhphotovideo.com/photo/filters/glass/bw/sizecode.html to conclude that S7 was the same as 122mm. Thanks for correcting my error. Like I said I intend to wait for the lens. I assume that it will be obvious what size/shape filters it takes when I am able to hold the lens in my hands. I think I have found a lens, but it is more expensive than Jem's who said(My example has suffered a damaged filter thread and scatch from a fallen shelf but optically it is fine) in Cyberspace(and the USA) and will probably call on the land-line on Monday. Thanks for the help everybody, Dale - --- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
