What filters for Graflex Super D?

[bbjorkum]

Does anyone know exactly what they are called, the snap on filters for the Ektar 190mm on the Graflex Super D?

Kodak made snap-on filter holders for various lenses. I think I have series 6 or 7 filters and holders for my Kodak Medalist, and another set tjhat fits my Argus C3. I've never used those with my Super D. I think I have a Cokin adapter ring that I use with that. Check to see if the barrel of the Ektar isn't threaded. Once you find the right size ring you can use any of the Cokin series filters. (I don't use filters much anymore, so I don't remember which size filters go with which lenses. There must be a table of Kodak series filter sizes online.)

My Graflex Model D uses series 7 filters with a slip on and the focal length is 7.5" or 190.5 mm.

I measured mine at 43mm diameter for slip-on filter holder.

Thanks. I just ordered a 43mm yellow filter. Exciting.

NO NO NO NO NO! It's a slip-on filter HOLDER size. The filter size is actually Series 7 (I think). There is NO screw in filter for this lens. Quick, cancel your order.

This is what the slip-on adapters look like -- they go OUTSIDE the lens.

No, the 43mm slip-on filter did not fit. It was so close, but alas ...

Was it too large or too small? Did you bend the little metal togs to make it fit -- they're good for plus/minus 1.5mm.
I apologize if I misled you.

It was too small. I have not tried to bend the togs. Will do ...

I say! It worked!
