Next w/e I'm renting a 500CM/back with 80mm f/2.8 and 150mm f/4 lenses. Per the
sales fellow at the store, the filter attachment is a bayonet type.

Is there an adaptor that would allow me to use my 72mm dia screw mount filters
on a bayonet filtered lens?

I can't find a Bay 60-72 ...is there such a beast?

will a Bay 6-72 do the job?

will a Bay 60-72/6-72 allow the use of my Cokin-P kit (for which, of
course, I have the 72mm ring).

Thanks,
Alan

I've never looked. Perhaps an adapter and stepping ring?

Nope- that's a Rollei thing

Cokin make an adapter specifically for the Bay 60 size.

Hasselblad made a bayonet (bay) adapter to series (67mm) filters. Maybe you
can get one and then find a 67mm to 72mm step up ring.

Alternately, B+W has Hasselblad bay adapters, but I don't think they step
directly to 72mm, but you can check that yourself. See

Thanks. Looks like a Bay 60-67 + 67-72 will be the way.
