Symmar-S filter size

[Greg Davis]

I am looking at buying the 300mm Schneider Symmar-S lens, but the filter size is huge. Anybody know the size of the rear filter thread?

I looked at that chart on their website before I posted, it only lists the front filter thread, which is 105mm, much larger than my Series 9 filters. I need to know the rear filter thread size so I can see if the Series 9 will fit.

Look again: D2 on the chart. 80mm if I recall correctly.

[BrianShaw]

OK... sorry. D2 appears to be the outside diameter of the rear element, not the rear threads.

[Greg Davis]

Not a problem, I found that the Symmar-L is a 77mm rear thread, as well as a 105mm front. So it may be the same with the Symmar-S. I need to find an affordable 77mm-S9 adapter.

If nobody knows for sure I'll dig out my Calumet version of the lens. I wonder which box it's in . It's not a small lens no matter what.

[BrianShaw]

Would you please, Nick. Now I'm dying of curiousity too. As an alternative, you can send it to me and I'll measure it for you... wouldn't that be more convenient?

[Nick Zentena]

Are you promising to come here and look for it? -) I think I know which room it's in so it's only figuring out which box it's in. Considering how heavy it is I guess I could just pick the heaviest box -)
