I have this lens with no retaining ring. I know it is larger than 50 mm but have not been able to find the exact size for the retaining ring/jam nut.

Does anyone know the proper size? Thanks.

If its a re-branded Rodenstock 240mm f5.6 I think the thread is 72mm.

I heard some people say that cheap step-up rings can work as retaining rings. Like a 72mm-82mm something like that. No idea if it works though.
