I just bought a Schneider 165mm Super Angulon on ebay for my 8x10 and I'm wondering what you S.A. owners use for filters on this massive lens. I am looking for yellow, orange and red filters. I really don't think I would need a centre filter but do any of you use one? What about a good lens shade while we're at it?
Thanks for the suggestions.
What size filter does it require ? I've got some big ones lying around.

Should be 105mm.

Mine is actually a 110mm. There are no indications of that on the lens but I've measured it and it also states so on the "vintage" section of the Schneider web site.

Are you sure that 110mm isn't the outside diameter of the lens?
The filter size would include the pitch as well as the diameter. So 105 x 1.0 is a filter size. So is 105E or 105ES.
110mm is a diameter measure.

Multi-Coated version is: M 110 X 1

110mm it is indeed - outside is 115mm. I just re-measured using a caliper to make sure.

Heliopan also makes 110mm x 1 filters.

On the rare occassions I use filters, with the massive 165 SA I tape a 4" gel or acetate filter to the back of the rear element, inside the camera. A reasonable alternative to the huge filter you'd need to use on the front.---Carl
