george_huczek Posted June 27, 1998 Share Posted June 27, 1998 My local dealer informs me that BayI filters are only to be found on the used market. Is that so? I am looking for some BayI colour filters for Rolleiflex/Yashicamat lens mounts. Does anyone happen to have any of these that they would be willing to part with for a reasonable price? Alternatively, I need to know if I can find a filter mount converter to be able to use thread mount filters, or a supplier who I can contact to buy BayI filters, if they can still be found anywhere.

larry_albert Posted June 27, 1998 Share Posted June 27, 1998 George, <p> Bay1 filters for the Roelli are still listed as available inthe latest B&H Photo catalog. B+W offers Bay 1 filtersand calls them size B1. I did not find any Bay 1 filters inthe Tiffen listings. <p> B&H web address follows --- <p> http://www.bhphotovideo.com/photo/filters/navigation.html --- <p> Hope this helps. B+W may be your only choice for newBay 1 filters. Yes B+W filters do cost more than otherbrands. Are they worth it? I am not going to start thatfight. <p> Good luck,Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_blackmon Posted June 28, 1998 Share Posted June 28, 1998 Rollei brand Bay1 filters can be found at several major used distrubitors, but are generally very expensive used. Look for B35 as this is the same size as Bay1 (or at least mounts very well on my Rolleiflexs and 124G) and is usually how you will see third party filters (such as Tiffen and Hoya)listed. These can be had very reasonably. With a little effort it shouldn't be hard to find a Series 5 adaptor for this mount. (This is what most of the filters I use are, since they are relatively common and very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_pass Posted July 6, 1998 Share Posted July 6, 1998 Your local dealer is in error. The B&H catalog lists plenty of Bay1 (also called Bay30 (I don't know about Bay35??)). However, they can also be found used: http://members.aol.com/gdwnphoto. Amy sold me a minolta autopole that I'm very happy with for my Yashica 124. She has alot of other Bay1 stuff as well last I checked. <p> Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Hello everyone. TLR uses will find this thread so heres an update. Get a Bay 1 / Bay 30 adapter that allows the use of sized, screw in filters. If you have 35mm gear, your 49-55 mm filters can than be "shared" with the TLR and you can spend the money on another "toy". Try www.goodwinphotoinc.com for the Bay x adapters at a reasonable price. Enjoy, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
