1000s lenses

bunktheory65 · Jul 31, 2021

I ended up with a 1000s and a 150mm lens. And an original manual for it.

It took me a while to actually find out the lens had a built in shade/hood.

Would it be possible to use a CPL or even black and white lens filters with it?

For this camera you do not need a CPL, a plain polarizer is sufficient.

In general lenses that have a built-in telescopic shade, have it surrounding a filter thread fixed to the barrel. Thus you retract the shade, screw in the filter and extract the shade again. Have a look at the built of your lens.

The only issue this design has is that with any filter in need of turning one must retract and extract the shade any time one wants/neds to adjust that filter. Also some of these turnable filter come with a lever. One must be able to take it off to still be able to use the shade.

If the filterring is built into the shade, that these problems do not exist. Though now a filter may be inadvertedly being twisted by twisting the shade.

I think there were even lenses that yielded fiter threads at both, barrel and shade.

As AgX said, most likely the front of the lens has filter threads. You may find that the built-in hood doesn’t have enough clearance for a filter, in which case you get to decide use a filter or the hood.
There is also the option of adding a separate hood on the front of a filter.

I guess the OP is asking about the 150mm lens for the Mamiya M645 1000S ?

If so, Mamiya made several versions of the 150mm focal length for the M645 system. It looks like the f/2.8 versions take 67mm filters and the f/3.5 versions take 58mm filters.

EDIT: or possibly, he is talking about the Mamiya nc-1000s ??? but, I do not recall there being a 150mm lens for that mount.

Ok but now I have to see a picture of 1000s of lenses to satisfy a craving that I now have, because that’s what I expected when I read the subject. Anyone have that kind of collection?

Thanks for the clarification.

Since the original poster describes himself as a 35mm shooter, I thought he was talking about a 1000mm lens on a 35mm camera.
