What's the difference between Schneider center filter III and IIIa?

[Aaron Rocky]

I couldn't find any info of IIIa at schneider website. Can it be used on SA 75/5.6?

Aaron,

Both have a 67x0.75 thread on the rear and an 86x1 thread at the front. The gradation differs however.

The IIIa is for the 90mm 1:8 Super-Angulon

The III is for either the 65mm or 75mm 1:5.6 Super Angulons.

Furthermore there is a IIIb for the 58mm XL and IIIc for the 47mm XL
