To fit a 60mm thread, get the Cokin 67mm adapter ring and a 60-67 step-up ring from B+W or Heliopan (B&H also sells genreic ones). BTW, I think Ken Hansen in NYC has Sinar cc filters (which will fit Cokin P)relatively cheap. Hope this helps.

I'm an R8/R4 user with 100 Macro, 35-70 f4 and 24mm R lenses taking E60 filters and 60 Macro and 180 f4 taking the same filters with a neat 55 to 60 step up ring from Heliopan. I use Circ-Pol, Red 25 and Yel-Green Heliopan filters. Why oh why did I settle on 60mm filters. I will be teaching a class on colour correction next spring and rather than buy to special order a fortune's worth of Heliopan 60mm filters I thought I'd use something cheaper like the Cokin system to generate my teaching material. Does anyone out there know or use the Cokin P system with R lenses - especially 60mm threaded lenses as I can get no sensible reply from the Cokin distributor (who insists I need a Hassleblad bayonet). Suggestions for filters more than welcome. - -- David G Prakel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
