Canon FD 500mm f8 Reflex lens/ Front Filter

Recommended Posts

Fellow Photographers: I Have the Canon FD 500mm f8 Reflex lens. My

question is that I would like to fit a front filter to the lens but

I am unable to find a source that makes this particular size, on my

original front lens screw on cap reads in side 83PO.75 I have tried

82mm but its approx 1mm shy of the right fit. The reason that I wish

to put a front filter is that a live in Southern Nevada and it can

get real wild with the sand storms here. Appreciate any help

Regards. Mike.

I think the best bet if you have to have a filter on the front of your mirror will be to have an adapter made from 83mm down to 82mm or up to 86mm as You won't find a 83. I would make sure that the machine shop have both the filter and your cap to work from. Check the yellow pages for a small machine shop. There are photographic specialist machine shops but you might be able to have one made local for less. Ask around at the local model airplane of train hobby shop as well.
