9euf Posted May 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I recently hit on a Summicron 50mm and bought it. Now I need a ND filter, preferably a variable one, as I'll be shooting open. Could you recommend me one ? I live in Europe and would appreciate if you can also tell me where I can buy it. Sometimes it's hard to find a certain model. Thanks and wish you all a good weekend. N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9euf Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted May 27, 2018 https://www.foto-huppert.de - thanks ! I've already sent a message to the team of this website... but could you (or anyone I'd appreciate it) tell me which size (which ES?) of the filter I should by for my lense (Summicron-R 50mm) ?

TomB_tx Posted May 27, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 27, 2018 There were two models - if your lens has a pull-out (built-in) hood, it takes a 55 mm filter. If it takes a separate clip-on hood, it should have a filter retaining ring on the front that unscrews. This was meant to hold a non-threaded Series 6 (or VI in Roman numerals) filter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply. It seems that my lens has a separate clip-on hood. If I'd like to get a ND filter for this lens, which size must I look for?

TomB_tx Posted May 27, 2018 Share #6 Posted May 27, 2018 “Series 6” is the size, but since lens makers stopped using the “series” non-threaded filters they are rare. It looks like Heliopan may still make them https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?ci=114&fct=fct_circular-sizes_27%7cseries-6&N=4026728350 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, would it be possible to put the ND filter on the hood instead ? It looks like the hood itself has a has a ring for unscrewed filters... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9euf Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted May 31, 2018 https://www.foto-huppert.de Sorry to summon you back... I just purchased a series VI Heliopan ND filter. However, it does not fit directly to the lens. Do I need a filter ring first to put the filter on the lens? Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted May 31, 2018 Share #9 Posted May 31, 2018 The lens originally came with a series VI retaining ring installed: Welcome, dear visitor!
