[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a "Tiffen Series 6 Adapter Ring Summitar F:2 Made In USA" adapter ring that I use with a round Series 6 lens shade that I use when I don't want to use my "barn doors" shade. It seems to work well. These may still be available in used filter adapter boxes. I paid only a couple of dollars for mine.
