I'm fairly new (still :) ) to LF in 4x5. I started with a single lens, a Symmar-S 5.6 150mm. At some point I purchased a Cokin filter holder P series with a 58mm adapter and a yellow/orange filter.
Since then, I have acquired a;
Symmar-S 5.6/210
Caltar-S II 5.6/135
Super-Angulon 8/90
I would like to expand the filter system, but I'm not sure that I can do it with the P Series as my 210 lens appears to have a 77mm filter thread and this seems to exceed the P Series limit as any 'insert' would be paper thin. Should I be moving to the Z-Pro series?
Also, I'm not great at reading small metal rulers and none of my lenses seem to have a filter size marked on them. Can anyone with these lenses verify the filter sizes for me?
According to my measuring, the above lenses have the following filter sizes;
210 - 77mm
135 - 49mm
90 - 67mm
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
