In the States, they are special order since that is a Euro lens format. 70.6mm only conforms to the US lens standard of 2-25/32". How they arrived at that size, beats the heck out of me. Anyway, if you are willing to wait, your ISCO or Schneider dealer should be able to help you...get your focal length correct since it will be a special order. Note too the older "Kiptar" lenses by ISCO (Black and Silver) went both ways...just remove the Silver section to revel the 62.5mm OD portion.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Jonsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Bromolla, Sweden Registered: Sep 2003 posted 07-21-2006 08:46 AM                       Don, I have two spare adapters. One is appr. 65mm long and the other 100mm long plus adapter for CS attachment at the front. Tell me wich one you need and I´ll send it to you. Thomas  |  IP: Logged
