tom_harvey3 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 <p>Perhaps the Lee system filter holder or Cokin.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo_bern Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 <p>Another question:<br> Can anyone provide info about the measurements of the outside of a Cokin A and P series adapter rings?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahlster Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 <p>The Cokin A series filters are 3x3</p> <p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?ci=3837&N=4247996974+4291532520">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?ci=3837&N=4247996974+4291532520</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo_bern Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 <p>Mark,<br> Thank you for your answer BUT:<br> Cokin "A" filters measure 67 x 71mm (W x H)<br> Cokin "P" filters measure 83 x 83mm (W x H)<br> KENKO Filters (mine) measure 77 x 77mm (W x H) so either A or P Cokin holders will do the job.<br> My holder is ok, but I am looking for a solution about the adapter rings so I can fit them to all my lenses i.e (52mm - 55mm- 58mm- 67mm -72mm). <br> I only have 52mm and 62mm adapter rings. So either I go for the step down and step up adapter rings or ........<br> If anyone can provide some info about the outside measurement of the Cokin A and P series adapter ring it will be much appreciated. It will save me time and money from ordering adapter ring to see if I can fit them to my system.<br> Thanks<br> Theo</p> <p><br /> <br /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
