Schneider center filters

I have two of the older Schneider Center Filters for the chrome Super Angulons. One is marked "Schneider-Kreuznach Center-Filter 8/65" and the other is marked "Schneider-Kreuznach Center-Filter 8/75". Shown with my collection of chrome Super Angulon F8 lenses on Sinar Norma boards.

I'd like to have one for my 47mm F8 Super Angulon. That takes a 40.5mm filter. Has anyone here ever seen one? I buy one if I could find it.

I've thought of using the 65/8 Center filter, with a step-down ring to 40.5mm. Might have to try that.

Dan, go to the list and read my article on center filters.

Short answers, ain't no 40.5 mm CF. Use the thinnest step ring you can. Test both the 65/8 and 75/8 CFs. If you read the article you'll see -- check product #s -- why I suggest testing the 75.
