[ swing-out and view-then-screw-on types ] What they seem to have missed is the design used by Minolta for the Autopole polarizer on its Autocord TLRs. This had separate taking-lens and viewing-lens filters, geared together to keep them in the same orientation. It couldn't be that much more complicated to rig something like that up with a filter over the viewfinder driven by the lens filter (it would be a bit more complex, because you'd want the finder's filter to be set back close to the front of the camera, implying an intermediate driveshaft). - jack ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- jack@purr.demon.co.uk - Jack Campin, 2 Haddington Place, Edinburgh EH7 4AE
