For those of you that may be interested, I have discovered that the opening in a Cokin A series filter holder is the same size as a Series VII filter. Using the Series VII retainer ring, you can mount the Cokin holder on a Series VII adapter. If you have a Series VI push on adapter for your Crown, all you need is a Series VI to VII adapter and you are in business.

There will probably be some interference with the shutter and aperture controls on the lens. Haven't tried it on the camera, yet, but I believe it will be more of a nusiance than a problem (have to wait and see!).

This solves a problem I've been working on for a while. It allows greater flexibility for my photography interests through the use of a wider range of filters than what is available in the Series sizes.

Just thought you guys might be interested.

Comments always welcome!

Thanks for the information. It also gives me more filter options.

Harry,

Just an FYI, I tried the Cokin set up this weekend. There is a slight amount of interference accessing the shutter speed ring (mine is a little stiff), so removal of the set up may be necessary at times. I didn't have any problems, but it might be annoying to some.

Also, you can't use a drop in Cokin polarizer (or any other round drop in accessory) as the Series VII retainer ring interferes. I found a Series VII polarizer to use. I think it will work out OK.

Thanks
