How do I get a filter to fit on this?


Recommended Posts

My lens is a Graphic Kowa 360mm and I want to be able to mount 3 and 10 stop ND filters on it while shooting 8x10. The issue is that the lens hood doesn't have a filter thread, so I am thinking of getting the filters in 95mm, getting a step-down ring to 85mm and then somehow superglue or braze the two of them together......what do you guys think??
The lens hood is ~85mm across

Tape 'em Neil.

Or get something that uses a plastic or nylon (non-marring) set-screw to hold it onto the hood, or the outer edge of the lens.

I just found out that the lens hood thread is 58mm so I ordered a step up ring from Lazada for B154 and will be able to use My Noctilux filters

Ditch the lens hood, any large format photographer should know to stand in a position to cast your own shadow over the lens when making an exposure.

I didn't know that Steve but I do now.....thanks
