Filters for Yashica Mat 124G

Is there any way to use polarizing filters on a Yashica Mat 124g?

I'm wondering whether I can put one on each of the lenses and

somehow place a mark on the filter on the viewing lens and then line

up the filter on the taking lens. Any tricks would be appreciated.

Also, I want to use a warm-up filter with this camera. What size

should I be searching for, or should I use an adapter to be able to

use standard-sized filters?

I have a Yaschica Mat 124. I use a Rollei B1 bayonet to 46 mm screw converter, then a 46 to 52 mm step up ring, then put a Cokin P series adapter on (I'm sure A-series would do, I just have P). Then I hold the polarising filter up to my eye and rotate it until I get the desired effect. I then drop the filter into the holder without rotating it, compose and take my shot. The filter goes right across the front of the viewwing lens, but I was surprised at how little you notice it.

 

It may not be perfect, but it suits me fine.
