Patrick Clement Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hello Bolex friends! So I love my H16 with a Pan Cinor lens. But, It is too long for the stock Bolex Matte Box, and it is a round base camera, so I would need the flat base adapter to even connect a Matte Box should I buy one. So I have been digging around to find a light LENS END filter holder. I've found a couple nice cheap and light options, but I cant FOR THE LIFE OF ME find a 65mm step ring. The Pan Cinor 70 has 65mm threads. I bought a 67mm just to see if it could work, but alas...no dice. Has any one had any experience with this issue. I cant find 62mm, I can find 67mm...but no 65mm???? Anyone have any ideas or MacGuyer style DIY's? Thanks,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Pan Cinor 85 and I use the Series 8 filters on it. Edited December 8, 2008 by Herb Montes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Clement Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 poop, they are threadless? I;m going to do some research on them. Thanks a ton!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Montes Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 poop, they are threadless? I;m going to do some research on them. Thanks a ton!! Yes, the lens hood holds the filter in place. And they can't be stacked. The compact Pan Cinor zoom uses Series 7 filters as well. As it is is I use the gel filter holder built into my Bolex.

Herb Montes Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks a ton! That really helped me out! If you're going to do research you should get Andrew Alden's "Bolex Bible". It can answer a lot of questions about the Bolex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
