Henning is right, it is Lee filters, not Roscoe. I had a momentary lapse on 
filter designations. I still wonder about adapting it to the rear. For some 
reason I have a, probably, unreasonable fear of fiddling with rear elements 
of lenses. Of course, someone should try it out! If it works, so much better 
and there might even be a market for a small tube with a slot in it for Lee 
filters. They make, or used to make, a nifty little "sample" pack with at 
least 50-60 different filters in them. I used to tape them to the inside of 
my old folding barndoor hood for my Summicron and do color balance for 
artificial light.
