Bonsoir Gerald,

  I had a somewhat related problem a couple of weeks ago.  Bought a very 
nice 50mm Canon 1.8 lens, late version, for next to nothing.  Problem was it 
takes 40 mm accessories.  I went to a local telescope store and had an 
adapter ring made by their resident machinist; 40mm to 46mm. I believe the 
tread was .5 mm.  I'm positive you can have an adapter ring custom made for 
your needs.  My total cost was 40 canadian loonies; about 35 US dollars.  
Cost of said adapter is quickly recouped by the savings made on a ton of 
readily available inexpensive shades and filters.  

  Best,

  Robert (Un chevalier sans blason)
