santila Posted July 7, 2008 Share #1 Â Posted July 7, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) In Germany the 60mm adapter ring to 62mm (Hama 16062) can be bought. Then one can step up to the 62mm filter sizes. Is this ring exist somewhere in the USA? Extensive search on Google indicated that nobody carries the ring in the USA.

Guest jimmy pro Posted July 7, 2008 Share #2  Posted July 7, 2008 Did your extensive search happen to miss B&H?  Step Up Rings | B&H Photo Video  One thing to beware of, is whether the hood will still fit. I know the latest 35-70 with the screwon hood it won't fit over the 60-62 stepup. There was a Minolta 35-70 with also 60mm filter made back 20 odd years ago, it had I think a telescoping hood, not sure if that would clear the stepup either.

santila Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share #3 Â Posted July 7, 2008 Oops, I missed B&H. I have it on order. I am aware that the original hood will not fit and I did order the B+W 62mm Screw-In Folding Rubber Wide Angle Lens Hood #920. Thanks for the pointer.

santila Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share #4 Â Posted July 11, 2008 The 60 to 62mm adapter ring will not work. The barrel with the adapter ring will only move in about to the 45mm FL then the ring is bottoming out. What other way polarizing filter would work on this lens? I seen Heliopan and B+W slim circular polarizers, would they work from the full 35-70mm? Leica polarizer just outregously expensive for the Vario-Elmarit R in the E60 thread.
