Hello Jurgen,Hello Vieri
I often asked myself , how do you attach the firecrest filters to your 15mm VOIGTLÄNDER .
You very often mentioned that combination .
Can you show an image of the filter adaption ? ? ?
Thank you Vieri for your reply . I was very well aware of that delicate rework . I think Guy MancusoHello Jurgen,
thank you for your message - yes of course, in fact I can do one better and show you this:

this is how I did it, but of course all classic warnings apply

Hello Jurgen,Thank you Vieri for your reply . I was very well aware of that delicate rework . I think Guy Mancuso
performed that rework already some years ago . Although I have quite some fine mechanical skills and also the machines to do complicated work , I always refused to do that for the HELIAR 15 III .
I remember , that I read about an adapter for the HELIAR 15 III , made by a small asian company , but can't remember the name any more . Perhaps you know more ? ? ?
Thank you Vieri .Hello Jurgen,
yes there is the Bombo adapter, but the manufacturing is definitely sub-par. I used it for the 10mm Voigt and I had TWO of them fall apart by themselves... and they don't come cheap.
Best regards,
Vieri
You are very welcome. About contacting Voigtlander why not - give it a shot. I think they know about the issue, but it might help to remind themThank you Vieri .
I think of finding an other solution . Do you think it would make sense to contact Voigtänder . They surely know about this issue or do you think , they just don't want to improve that fantastic lens ?
Well, that beats flattening them out with a hammer...Hello Jurgen,
