I've been back and forth about how to filter and shade some of my older or smaller lenses, which don't accept modern threaded filters, or are too small IMO for an external push-on adapter ring (75 Rectagon, 100 WA Dagor, 133 Cooke, 6" Dagor, etc.). I have quite a collection of 67mm filers, so I'd prefer not to buy a set in yet another size.
My current thinking is to modify a compendium shade system (I have one for a Technikardan gathering dust) to accept these filters. But I'd prefer first to ask for the advice and experiences of the members here; there's no guarantee that my idea is the best one. I'm thinking of mounting a threaded filter ring from the rear frame of the compendium, offset forward enough to clear the front element of the longest lens I hope to use it with. Any feedback/critique/suggestions would be welcome.
