Re: [KOML] Filter Dilemma

Brian,
    Re. your second question: I have a 58 mm lens ( I imagine it is the same
diameter as yours) which, I've been told, takes Series 7 filters, so, after a
bit of searching about, I was able to order a Series 7 to 52 mm adapter
through a local camera store, which has yet to arrive.  Actually, I would
have preferred a 55 mm adapter, since most of my filters are of that
diameter, and those, too, supposedly exist, but to save further searching, I
satisfied ms with the 52.  I am told Harrison & Harrison makes the adapters
still (most of the major filter manufacturers have discontinued them).  The
C-R woman at Tiffen suggested I call a camera store in Georgia that
apparently has a stock of them.
