I am looking for a center filter with 49mm (male) threads for an older 65mm f/8 Super Angulon. B&H lists a Heliopan 49mm male x 67mm female threads, but it has been discontinued and they are out of stock. No luck with Calumet, either. Any ideas? TIA, njb

Sadly we cannot obtain 49mm Centre filters this side of the Atlantic either......we are nowsuggesting people use a stepping ring from 49mm to 52mm, not an ideal I know but at least it gets you working......other than that keep your eyes peeled for a s/h Schneider filter, they do crop up, often with the Plaubel Pro-Shift Good luck Robert

We still have two 49mm 0.9 density heliopan center Filters in stock which can be ordered from any U.S. camera store.
