I recently purchased a Shen-Hao HZX45IIA with some other gear including the Shen-Hao compendium lens shade from Seagull Trading Company in Shanghai. The lens shade has two slots for filters and masks - one at the front and one at the back. These slots measure 115mm square and about 2-3 mm thick. After many inquiries to Seagull, Shen-Hao, Lee, Cokin, Badger, the View Camera Store, and others, it appears that nobody manufactures 115mm filters that will fit this shade.
Seagull Trading Company suggested (see below) I contact the Toyo company which I did but haven’t received a response, so one question I have is for Toyo owners. Does Toyo make or market 115mm filters?
Shen-Hao suggested (see below) I contact the GAOJIAN company. I’ve tried Google and cannot find contact information for them. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with this company?
Finally, are there other Shen-Hao compendium lens shade owners who’ve found a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Craig

RESPONSE FROM SEAGULL TRADING COMPANY
Hi, Craig
Shenhao camera's size is the same as Toyo camera.
So if the filter can be used on a TOYO 4x5 CAMERA, it should also be able to be used on shenhao camera.
Do you know someone who use toyo camera? then maybe you can ask him where can buy the suitable filter.
Best Regards,
Joyce

Dear Sir:
Very Sorry! I don't know who manufactures filter.
Our this lens hood principal shade light.
Maybe you can ask TOYO company or GAOJIAN company (as though this company manufactures filter for 120mm camera).
