You could use a step-up ring to E62 size which they do offer. A better solution IMHO is the Lee "Gel Snap" (uses a rubber band) which will mount a standard 4x4 gel filter holder onto any lens up to 82mm in diameter. http://www.leefilters.com/ http://www.leefilters.com/CPACC1.asp?PageID=163 John Collier > From: David Prakel <dgp@btconnect.com> > > I'm an R8/R4 user with 100 Macro, 35-70 f4 and 24mm R lenses taking E60 > filters and 60 Macro and 180 f4 taking the same filters with a neat 55 to 60 > step up ring from Heliopan.
