Dick I recall that the standard 55mm thread is 0.75mm: up to 40.5mm, 0.5mm is standard, then 0.75mm to 60mm, then 1mm above that. I am NOT certain and my references are currently in disarray. But it would be a matter of $10 to buy a Tiffen filter from your village camera store to check it out. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
