Advertisement Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Hi luigi bertolotti, Take a look here Elmarit 2.8_135 Filter size. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jamesk8752 Posted March 29, 2013 Share #22 Posted March 29, 2013 I have one of these "threadless" 135/2.8 lenses and, being unable to find a better solution (and after consulting with Don Goldberg), I cemented a glassless 55 mm filter ring to the front of the lens using contact cement. It now accepts 55 mm filters and looks quite professional. I used contact cement so I can remove the filter in the future if I wish.

telewatt Posted March 29, 2013 Share #26 Posted March 29, 2013 I think a normal Adapter ring for 55mm, which is then mounted upside down .. regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... what about the hood ? 1 or 2 pieces ? How was it secured to the barrel ? That's an interesting question whether a one-piece or two-piece hood... there are lenses that are a mixture of type 1 and 2 ...but as far as I know all with the 2-part hood.. regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm traveling so I can't check the hood at the moment, but as I remember it is a one piece type. I've always suspected that the lens is a transition version rather than clearly one type or the other.

jamesk8752 Posted March 31, 2013 Share #29 Posted March 31, 2013 Hello' date=' I second all the questions from Luigi and I will add one : what kind of "glassless 55 mm filter ring" did you used ? to be able to scew a E 55 filter in it Thankx[/quote'] I removed the glass from a spare 55mm filter ring, ground down the rear external threads slightly with a file so it would fit neatly into the unthreaded front of the lens, and applied a small amount of contact cement which holds it firmly in place. As it only needs to support a uv/ir filter it is secure enough for my needs. Works and looks great! When I first acquired the lens, I puzzled over it for days trying to figure out how to mount a filter. All I could see was the parallel antireflection rings at the front inside the hood. Don Goldberg looked at it while adjusting the focus calibration and advised that he had never seen one like it. I think it was he who suggested adding the filter ring to the lens, but I did the work. In any event, it is easily reversible should I choose. Regards, Jim Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jim Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner Your lens is part of a lot of 276 made in 1976 referred as a E55 filter, the one with which I started this thread is from a lot of 1900 made in 1969 referred as an E54 filter ??? (actually I found only E54 Pol filter) There are 7 year in between the two example, It's a lot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted April 1, 2013 Share #31 Posted April 1, 2013 Series VII thread is 54mm so, an 'E54' means 'Einschraub 54'.... Cheers, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted April 1, 2013 Share #32 Posted April 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure its a strange pitch as well as an odd size! I have a vers 1 Elmarit 135 and have had a Srs VII to E55 adapter on order for nearly 2 years from the UK Heliopan agent, no sign of it yet. They are like hen's teeth to find.

jc_braconi Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted April 9, 2013 This morning I epoxied an E55 ring inside of the anti reflections ring waiting to receive an UV/IR E 55 for my friend. The hood is of one piece, looks like the second tube is fixed to the body by the front ring. This Elmarit is very strange but the pict it takes are really sharp...making me compare to dogs : bastards are the most efficient Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bet it was a "faux-one-piece"... from your initial pics it seemed to me much different from the "standard" one-piece... how does it looks when compared to it ?

jc_braconi Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share #35 Posted April 21, 2013 The UV/IR E55 is on and the hood is only one piece collapsing if the collar we can see is the second piece this one does not move as fixed by the front ring to be seen in the very first picture of this thread.

OK... things seem clear now... is that front ring the "culprit" : it HAS NOT the inner thread for filter adapter : mistery, but so it was made, from the evidence... Now, JC, please take on your caliper... ... the question of the one piece hood (DIFFERENT, it looks, from the "one piece" of the later version) leaves some residual doubt on the "efficiency" of the hood itself... : when fully extended, HOW LONG does it protrudes over the base ? taking as base the ring with the white dot for f stops ref., in my item (btw, with feet scale in red - not yellow) is like this : Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! How is in the item in your hands ?

jc_braconi Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted April 21, 2013 Luigi, I have to see the owner again for this measuring, and I plan to leave to my mountains next week if the weather is planning to stabilize on "warm" setting. Second question, I saw this last time, the owner used adhesive rubber for protecting the lens inside his bag.Good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
