Bob,

I looked for one for about a year without success and learned to make do

without. At least on the IIIf, I found that the difference between the
damaged 
one that I had and no filter was not that important - especially at
low-light 
levels.

An interesting question is whether there was a variation in sizing
across these 
filters for the Is,IIs and IIIs because everyone who I met who claimed
to have 
one found that it "didn't quite" fit the aperture on my standard camera.
Anyone 
know?

Peter
