However, when I started using the Elmar at a young age, those items were luxuries I could not afford. I found that a slip-on Series 6 adapter and a short Kodak hood, which also retained a Series 6 filter, if desired, worked just great. I still have the Elmar and the hood after more than 50 years and they still work great. I have never seen any vignetting from my arrangement. I now have a IIIf as well, to accompany my "Old Faithful" IIIa. Jim Nichols
