For those that may have a 135mm Rodenstock Sironar N lens and are using filters with it, what filter holder system are you using if you resort to using the square slide-in filters for in front of the lens. I've been looking at the Benro filter holder but am having difficulty finding a lens ring for the 135 Sironar N (40.5 mm) so that the holder can attach to the lens. Perhaps one does not exist that small as the smallest I've seen so far is 54 or so mm in size. Thanks.

Chuck, you can just buy 40.5 mm filters.... Either Tiffens, B+W.....or try these at $5 a pop.... not much of a loss if the quality is an issue

I use a 40.5mm-->52mm step-up ring and use the filters that I use with my 35mm kit.
Step-up rings should also work with a slide-in filter holder.
