But And am happy you agree. I allow others to use them. I have it in Bay 60 for the Hassy Bay 3 for the Rolleiflex even 24 for the Rollei 35, 52 and 62 for Nikon and I can use the 62 on my Fuji 210 lens for my Cambo 4 by 5. I am truly a yellow/green kinda guy. But maybe you already knew that about me. The more important ones being the 2 39's, a 46 and 49 for my Leica M6 lenes. That's about 9 of them. My main 39 has been in my same pocket the same time as coins a few too many times and will be upgraded to be my first Multicoated version. Someday I will have a yellow/green polarizor made. Then I will go to yellow/green heaven and munch on yellow/greens dipped in yellow/green goddess dressing. Mark Rabiner It's not easy being yellow/green.
