I've recently purchased a Schneider Super Symmar 4.5/80 XL and am using it for 4 x5. Under certain situations I want to use the center filter AND my existing Si ng Ray graduated neutral density filters at the same time. The Sing Ray filters use Cokin P-system mounts. The problem is that the center filter has 86mm thre ads but the P-system supports thread sizes only up to 82mm.
In the end I may have to invest to larger GND filters (perhaps the Cokin XPRO sy stem), but that's expensive and bulky. I've got an investment in the P-size Sin g Ray filters and would like to try to make them work, even if it means living w ith a slightly smaller image circle due to vinetting.
The obvious solution is to use an 86mm -> 82mm step down ring, but so far I have n't been able to find such a beast. Another possibility might be some sort of g izmo that allows one to use a Cokin P-sized filter inside a Coking XPRO-sized mo unt (which easily supports 86mm filter threads), however I have been unable to f ind this kind of thing either.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Most of the Schneider center filters have acc essory threads that are 86mm or larger, so surely I'm not the first person to en counter this problem?
Thanks.
