I just got a 55mm Takumar lens for my Pentax 67. It appears to take
100mm filters and lens cap. While I managed to locate a push-on lens
cap source on line, I'm having trouble finding 100 mm filters,
particularly a polarizing filter. Anyone know any good sources?

Thanks.

KEH has a few 100mm Pentax filters, no polarizers though.

Getting 100mm filters might prove hideously expensive, unless of course
you get lucky with used filters going for cheap..

I got the SMC 55/4 version because that uses the much more common
and affordable 77mm filters - though later on I sold it in a
desperate effort to fund Mamiya 7 stuff.. :)

I'm starting to see that. It looks like what I'll have to do is
actually get a 100-105 step up ring and go with a 105 mm polarizer,
and that goes for about $200 new. On the other hand, I got the lens
pretty cheap, because it had a ding to the filter ring, and had no
lens caps. The glass was perfect though. I may have to look into the
SMC 55/4 myself ultimately.
