Advertisement Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Hi jc_braconi, Take a look here The Filter Turret / 14116. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Zephyr Posted December 26, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2010 A very nice and beautiful accessory, JC. Useful also. It is called "Filterrevolver" in german. Do you think it was planed and realized by the canadian Leitz section? Each filter is a slim screw on lens filter. Even any combination is possible. Possibly the Hektor 125 mm is also compatible it. I have to verify. May I add the pic of mine, with the box and the notice. Welcome, dear visitor!

The top of the box is over the instructions (I don't have it) but YOU can read it about all the lenses you can use with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 26, 2010 Share #5 Posted December 26, 2010 I had to search in some boxes to find it. In fact the following lenses can be used with the turret: - Hektor 125 mm - Hektor and Elmar 135 mm - Telyt 200 mm, 280 mm, 400 mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: is it possible to exchange the glass in the filterrings with other glass? e.g. this would make it possible to use a UV/IR filter for my Telyt 400mm (for which I only have a normal Uv filter at 85mm.

Zephyr Posted December 26, 2010 Share #8 Posted December 26, 2010 Normally the turret accept the 43 mm slim screw-in filters from the 50 mm Summilux-M. But they can be replaced by the filter holder ref: 14 117 with any series VI filters (Leitz, Kodak, etc). No other ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitz Posted December 27, 2010 Share #10 Posted December 27, 2010 Any lens that uses the OUBIO can be used with the filter turret in its place. The 800 6.3 Telyt cannot be used. While the turret looks ungainly, it is actually very useable. The Nikon F sold in record numbers. The Visoflex III and even the turret sold in enough numbers that they are not rare at all.

Btw... are you sure the 14116 turret is not rare ? Seems to me is not so common to see one for sale... even if , speaking of "revolvers", the one for 3 lenses is surely scarcer...

Yes, it is right, look at the photo of the Turret, the number is visible on the notice. The black 14 160 is not usable on it. Probably the 14 117 was different, but I have no photo of it.
