4 X 5 Press Camera Lens Hood

[Bruce Osgood]

Is there such a thing as a compendium lens hood for a Press Camera? -- a hood that will accept contrast filters and adjust to individual lens length?

the lee system is the only one I have found.

Thank you Mark, I'll look into the Lee system.

Cokin makes a decent system which is cheap. It isn't a compendium system, but is adaptable to use in this manner. You will have to get an adapter from Cokin that fits your lens barrel.

Since they don't make one, ust the "O" ring trick. Go to an auto parts supply. Find an "O" ring which fits snugly on the barrel part of the lens. There are different sizes and thicknesses available. Get one which is fairly thick and a snug fit. Now find the correct size of Cokin adapter ring which lets you use their system parts. The adapter ring will screw onto the rubber "O" ring if you matched sizes well. tim
