Hi,

For users of Mamiya 6's out there.

Can you use 67mm filters on 58-67 step ring on the 50mm and 75mm lenses and still use the lens hoods?

This would make sense in only needing one set of filters to cover all 3 lenses.

Thanks,

Marc

I think you'd need 67mm hoods to fit the filters.

Thanks.
My Mamiya kit arrives today and a step up ring tomorrow so I'll check then with my 67 filter.
If that does not work, and I want to stick with 67mm filters I'll try one of the various screw in metal hoods...

No. Also remember the larger filter will cut into the viewfinder frames (bottom right corner) for those lenses.

is there any benifit to using a larger filter size?
