dhessel Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The diameter is smaller than 72mm but the lens it self doesn't have a front filter thread, if you are referring to the 16h/8z. You can buy clamps to add a 72mm front filter thread, the best one I am aware of being the one made by Redstan AKA Tony Wilson. The 82mm will be fine if you use stepping rings.http://www.redstan.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=33_37&product_id=41 Hans Punk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valid Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 That's the 8Z. The Bell-Howell is bigger- more like 70-ish mm. I tried all combinations of step rings/filters - in the end just got the redstan clamp and it's a perfect fit :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
