Thanx for the input...I hope I have this clear in my mind :-) ......Tamron 17mm
lens has no filter thread - outer diam of lens is 70mm. I think I will look out
for a piece of grey/black nylon or other engineering plastic and turn a boss to
slip over outside of lens. With a bit of luck I can fit a "P" Cokin adapter to
the outside of this.. (I have just found out that Cokin adapters are made up
to 82mm) This should allow me to fit the Cokin P holder. Add some kind of
thumbscrew and I am in business!
I KNOW I have a piece of large diameter nylon Somewhere in my school workshop
stored using the "just in case" principle. All I have to do is find it....I am
NOT the most organized person at the moment...far too much going on.. :-0
