All Heliopan filters use thin mounts. > > Guy also, the diameters of the heliopans are ever-to-slightly less than the B+Ws, so tight-fitting bayonet hoods (such as the older noctilux or the 28 elmarit) slide on easily. places actually stocking a wide range of heliopans--especially the new slim and multi-coated versions--are far and few between. heliopan is one of the more poorly distributed super-premium brands out there. i'm going to call up rich pinto for my newest heliopans today. - -rei - -- Rei Shinozuka shino@panix.com Ridgewood, New Jersey - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
