I have a, new to me, Kodak Ektar 152mm lens in a Supermatic X shutter. About 1948 vintage. It came without a mounting flange ring and no caps or hood. The nearest I can measure, it should take a 44.5mm mounting ring and the same for the front and rear caps. I'm unable to find this size accessory. So, is my measurement correct? Or should I try a Series VI adapter and bend the tangs out or a Series VII and bend the tangs in to slip on?

Any advice appreciated.

My 152mm Ektar came with a Series VII adapter and lens hood and it slips on just fine, no bending needed.

Steve, Rochester didn't do metric threads.
