I recently bought a 19” artar and I can’t find a step-up ring that fits it. Being a process lens maybe it doesn’t exist. Anyway, that’s beside the point because I made a perfectly serviceable and cheap adapter.
I got out the calipers and measured the OD of the front of the lens barrel at 62mm.
Off to B&H.
I bought a plastic press-for lens cap like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/125294-REG/62mm_Push-On_Lens_Cap
And a step up ring from the same diameter I measured to the diameter I want to adapt to, like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/809637-REG/62-72mm_Step-Up_Ring
Then it’s just a matter of using an exacto knife to carefully cut the disc from the end of the lenscap. The male threads will then fit perfectly into the plastic band that will slip onto your lens.
I used a bit of epoxy to mate the two parts together and for $12.15 I have a perfectly useable, not very elegant slip-on filter adapter. I blush to think what SK Grimes asks for one.
