Home made Filter Holder for Voightländer 15mm 4,5 ?

[f._william_baker]

Hi All,

Does anyone know of either a accessory filter holder for the Voightländer 15mm f4.5 or a reliable homemade version? I know that I can hold a 55mm or 77mm next to the lens hood (sic) but unless on a tripod this is a pain.. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

F. William Baker

Duct tape? :)

Seriously - I read someplace (maybe on Gandy's site) that you *could*

use the filter holder from the CV 12mm, but have to "shim" the

outside of your 15 with tape or something to fit it.

I have two adapters to use filters for this lens. The first is one

that mounts on the REAR of the lens and holds filters 30.5mm that

screw OVER the adapter. It works well. Some folks have mention that

adding a filter to the rear element of a lens would efect the optical

formula but I haven't noticed any difference. The adapter works very

nicely with my Leica If but with a filter attached it won't clear the

RF cam on my IIIf.

I also had a plastic collar machined to fit the 77mm filter adapter

from the 12mm CV lens. The collar shims the adapter so that it fits

perfectly. I can now use 30.5mm filters or 77mm with my 15 CV lens.

The adapters were made by SK Grimes. He does fantastic work!
