But if a lens requires a slip-on filter adapter, it there a practical way to use a polarizer? Steve |

I got a VI to 55mm adapter & a 55mm Polarizer filters!!!! so I went back to look at his ebay things and found other adapters cost more then buying the Item number: 140553809660 that I got!!!! like #140573168333 is a Series 6 to 55mm VI>55mm Step Adapter Ring like I got & its $24.99 Buy It Now !! AND the #140553809660 that I got for $22.99 Buy It Now !! AND it has both the adapter & the filter!!! SO I thank that I got a great buy AS I can use other 55mm filter THE only that would have been better IS if it had been a 52mm!! as I have more 52mm filters then 55mm filters banjo |

Then I bought a series 7 ND 8 filter from the same seller. Then I bought a lens vise from the same seller. He gave me a shipping break for the four items and shipped them in one package. Thanks, Steve |

I purchased a dual thread retainer ring to go with it. Now I can use it to retain any of the series VI filters I have on any of my lens AND attach my series VI Vivitar Polarizer that screws into a series VI holder without having to remove the retainer or the other filter in the stack. |
