    Does anyone know what the filter size is for a 16 1/2 inch Red Dot Artar?
    Thanks,

    It uses a push-on series adapter, not screw-in filters.

    Cheers, Steve

    Thanks Steve,


    I picked this lens up here on the forum a while back and really like it.

    Any idea where I could source one or who made some?
    Would really like to filter out doors and put a big shade on in the studio too.

    Thanks

    I have one of these lenses in an Ilex shutter and really like it. I use the Lee Gel Snap filter kit for mine (for B&W). It has a rubber band to hold the filter holder to most size lenses, and holds 4"x4" filters. In fact, I use the Lee filter holder for all my LF lenses, whether they're threaded or not. Much simpler than trying to manage an assortment of filters in different sizes, rings, etc.

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks, I just checked B+H, not expensive either, but I didn't see a way to mount a hood or Matt Box type affair. Do you just flag the lens or do you have a hood?
    Thanks,

    I've got a compendium hood (home-made but it works.)
