    Which lenses take this 120mm filter?

    Can someone tell me which lenses this 120mm filter would fit? I'd be very grateful.

    thanks in advance.......

    Some of the big 35mm telephotos take this size. I think some of the centre filters for the really huge coverage LF wide angles also have these for front mounting.

    Once upon a time, yes - the current super teles all seem to have 52mm filter trays and a proprietary front bayonet mount for shades (if not integrated). But I remember 1980's vintage manual focus Nikon super teles where the polarizer went in the thread on front, for easy manipulation, and earlier ones won't have had a filter tray at all. Sizes above 100mm were common, but I have no idea whether any of them had exactly 120mm.

    Do or do not. There is no try.

    I think I have some Heliopan 120mm stepping rings to allow it to be used on smaller lenses.....let me know if you have a need.

    I've got the smaller brother, the 105mm. It fits to my lens using a Lee Filters holder.

    Two lenses that do are the 360mm .8 Symmar-S and the Russian Narciss MTO-1000-A 1000mm 11.0 lens.

    I work for a TV network and some of our ENG lenses take filters that size. Actually very common size in the TV industry.
