I am after a 300mm lens but can;t afford to buy a range of huge filters. Does anyone know if any of the older 300mm lenses have rear threads for smaller filters? I know the new Schneider APO-L does but can't afford a new one. Anyone have the APO version 1? If so, does this have a rear thread...?
The Lee rubber band thingy works with 4"x4" polyester filters. If you aren't already committed to a filter system it might be worth looking into.
OTOH, If you can swing a 300 Nikkor "M" you can use the filters off your old Nikon 35mmSLR.

the lee gel snap is not very practical
if you want to use gel filters I'd reccomand frame mounted gels in a standard lee holder
The Nikkor M 300 uses 52 mm front filters. Nice smallish lens in a #1 shutter at about 2/3 pound. Very common to find used in fine condition.
