Series Filter Info

BAY Filters

Series filters were widely used on vintage cameras for decades. Some large series filters are still being produced today for use with cine lenses and super telephotos. The main type of series filter system uses an adapter which attaches to the lens. This adapter will either screw onto lens threads or slip on and over the lens collar. A filter that matches the series size drops into the adapter and a threaded retaining ring screws onto the front threads of the adpter to hold the filter in place. Some series filters thread directly onto the lens but it is important to know that the thread pitch used on vintage lenses does not match the thread pitch used on modern lenses. Do not use series threaded filters on modern lenses and vice versa. Some filters have a slip-on adapter built onto them. These are usually camera specific. A few rare adapters use a set screw to tighten around the lens collar.

Adapters

There were hundreds of different sized series adapters produced over seceral decades. The system is extremely versatile. Some adapters are labeled with thread size or collar size, but some aren't. Many adapters use a code # or code letter for identification. Each manufacturer used their own system. Below are incomplete lists of codes. These codes may not be 100% accurate. These adapters came with male and/or female threads.

Bay Filters (Bayonet)

Bay filters mount onto the lens with a bayonet connection. There are several sizes and several mount variations. This is a cross reference for some of the cameras that use the bayonet filter sytem. Rollei and Hasselblad have their own systems. Bay 1-8 are Rollei sytem and Bay 50-104 are the Hasselblad system which uses the measurement in mm as the bay #. Some filters have bayonet fronts and some have smooth or threaded fronts. There are adapters available that allow you to step up to modern or series filters as a money saver. Bay filters can be very expensive.
