Series VIII (8) Step-Up Filter Ring Adapter for 58mm Lens Filter Thread

Though I believe the title above says it all, I will explain a little more.

As you probably know, most common lenses allow filters and accessories to be screwed into them.  These filters are referenced by their diameter sizes, typically in millimeters.

There are adapting rings, commonly called step-up or step-down rings that allow you to place a different sized filter on the lens.

This adapter ring is somewhat of a special type having a "Series" number designation.

So this adapter ring screws into a lens having a filter diameter of 58mm and allows a larger size, which is known as "Series VIII" (8)

Going into Series Filter sizes is beyond the scope of this explanation, but essentially Series VIII filters are approximately 66.7mm.

So if you have a lens hood designated as Series VIII, you may now screw that hood into this adapter to use on your 58mm Filter threaded lens.

One more thing about Series Filter Adapter rings, such as this one.  They allow special filters that have no threads to be placed inside.  Then a special ring with male threads, screws in to hold the filter in place. Also, this retaining ring still will allow further Series VIII male threaded accessories to be screwed into it.

Note: Yes, the retaining ring is included in this listing.

The adapter ring and retainer are in good to excellent shape.

Please feel free to message me should you have any questions, corrections or comments.

Your Series VIII 58mm Step-Down Adapter Ring will ship by way of USPS First Class Mail, worldwide within 1 business day of receiving your PayPal payment.  Your payment is expected to be rendered within 12 hours of the listings end time.

Thank you for your consideration.

Toyo Field #00 Lens Board No. 1601 for 45A, 45AII, 45CX, and Toyo-View 23G

This is a rather difficult to find when you are looking for it, so I bought an extra one to share.
Typically, you need a hole smaller than a #0, for maybe a wide angle lens like the Schneider Super Angulon 47mm f/8 lens or one of those small Graphic shutters like a Graftar 103mm.  Well, I used this board to mount C-Mount movie camera lenses.

Because of the short flange on C-mount lenses, many boards are too thick to be able to attach a retaining ring, or in my case a short C-mount extensions.  But the Toyo Field board is perfect.  I can mount this lens board in a Toyo View to Toyo Field Recessed Adapter, (not included) and achieve very short lengths of focus, enabling the use of C-Mount movie lenses cable of focus to infinity.

But of course, you may use this lens board for any #00 lens shutter.  That's o.k. too!  The hole measures approximately 26.5mm, having dimensions of 110mm square.  The weight is 2.2 ounces, or 61 kilograms.

The hole is not perfect, but it is good enough.  The Gallery images show all of the scrapes along the edges as well as some on the rear.

Your Toyo Field Flat Lens Board will ship via USPS First Class Mail, worldwide within 1 business day of your payment, which is expected within 12 hours of the auction's end.

Mamiya Press G Adapter - Graflok Back for your Mamiya Universal Press Professional Rangefinder

The G is for Graflok, as this device provides complete 6x9/2x3 Graflok compatibility for your Mamiya Universal Press Pro Rangefinder Medium Format Camera.

With this rare and unique adapter, you can mount all of your early Mamiya RB roll film holders and the entire series of Graflex/Singer Precision "Graphic" Graflok roll film holders.

Note: This adapter is NOT for the Polaroid 600SE Professional Rangefinder, but please check my other listings.

Being that Horseman didn't quite stick to the exact specification, I can't list them as being compatible.  However, when I just tried mounting a Horseman 6x9 Ground Glass, I noticed that the only thing keeping it from fitting is the thin square piece of metal with the three screws, as seen all the way to the far left in the first Gallery Photo.  By removing that piece, Horseman gear just may fall right in place.

Not only can roll film holders fit a Graflok back, but you can even attach an adapter to mount your Nikon or Canon DSLR.  Now your Mamiya Universal can have a digital back.
Want to do Collodion?  Then get one of these.  Do you need the P Adapter so that you can have a Ground Glass to focus on?  Skip the P Adapter and click the BIN button.

I'm not thrashing the P Adapter, but the paperish hood irritates me.  If you take a look at the top and bottom of the G Adapter you will notice 2 little hooks.  These are for mounting a Graflok Ground Glass/ Focus Hood.  The folding hood walls are made of metal.  Let me know if you need one.  Also, I have a very simple method of making a Ground Glass for the G Adapter in which I will share with the auction winner upon request.  Many roll film holders are available as well.

I could go on mentioning all the various attachments from the likes of Graflex, Arca-Swiss, Cambo and Wista, just to name a few, but if you have read this far, then you probably get the point.

Your Mamiya Press G Adapter will ship via USPS Priority Mail, worldwide.  International buyers, please choose "USPS Priority Mail International" if you would like detailed tracking and Insurance (I pay for the Insurance.)  

Though I usually ship same day, please allow one business day.  As for all of my auctions, I expect payment to be rendered within 12 hours of the auction's end.  If you can't make payment within that time frame, then please manage my expectations by sending an e-mail.  Lastly, I will communicate via e-mail, using the e-mail address that is provided by PayPal.

Good luck and thanks for looking.
