I need a filter holder for up to eight 15mm bayonet filters for the Nikon f/2.8 16mm AF Fisheye

[Sirius Glass]

I just ordered 8 15mm bayonet filters for the rear of the Nikon f/2.8 16mm AF Fisheye lens, but I do not have any good way to store and carry those filters. Any suggests or recommendations will be appreciated.

I think that a single page of a PrintFile slide holder sheet might work.

@Sirius Glass I had to google the lens then google the filters. What is the approximate od of those filters 32mm? I think some of the modern filter holders that are made for the Lee, etc plates could work but the little guys would be sloshing around in the oversized spaces. Do you own any old filter "wallets?"

Here's a random budget friendly version:

I found them on KEH.com and eBay by searching for Nikon bayonet filters. They are about 15mm across.

Nikon Bayonet A2,B2,O56 Orange (13/15/16mm) Filter Set

Color correction filters and graduated filters will affect the white balance setting, using AWB with these filters will result in the camera attempting to correct for the color of the filter. Nikon Orange Filter (O56) offer greater contrast betwe

Nikon Bayonet B2 82A (13/15/16mm) Filter

BLUE B2 Blue filters remove reds and have a cooling effect. The mild B2 banishes reds from sunrise or sunset shots. You can use any blue filter and under-expose to create eerie night scenes.

Wow, those are tiny. I couldn't really tell from the ebay listing I looked at. Seller was including 3 of the filters with their lens. Your printfile idea will likely work fine while you seek a more permanent and better protected option.

Why so many? The good and the bad of the two Fisheyes I have is that they both have built in filters, but limited to just 3 filters each. Which filters did you get? With all the Nikon bodies I have, someday I'd like to get a NIkon Fisheye. Is this the one you have? Did you get it new?

I have the Nikon AF NIKKOR 16mm f/2.8 D Fisheye Autofocus Lens.

UV, A2 skylight warming, B2 tungsten [who uses that anymore, but it came with package from KEH, Y47 yellow, O56 orange, and R60 which I can also use with IR film.


I also just received from KEH the Tamron SP 150mm to 600mm f/5-6.3 DU VC G2 AF zoom lens, which I now see that I cannot carry it in my shirt pocket like a Leica M6 with a pancake lens [no, I do not have one of those]. Along with some other goodies that I got from KEH they are giving some good discounts and free shipping.

What? No PL? I use one on the rear of my Mamiya fisheye all the time.

I do not see a need for a polarizer for a long lens. I have not used it for my Hasselblad 500mm lens which is equivalent to 312mm on a 35mm camera. I use the longer lenses mostly for wildlife and I am not dealing with spectacular reflections or the need to darken skies.

The O56 Orange and R60 Red filters were available by special order from Nikon. It looks as though I will have an extra O56 filter, and if so I will consider selling it to an APUGger.

I was talking about a fisheye lens. Pretty short focal length -- you know 180° view. I thought that's what we were discussing. 180°, not 180mm. And I don't use a PL on my fisheye just to darken skies. It's great for getting rid of problematic reflections -- which can be a problem with fisheyes.

First of all the two fisheye lenses I have, Hasselblad and Nikon, only use rear filters because the front lens is too curved to take a filter. Also, ever on 20mm lens a polarizer can cause wildly varying sky across the photograph rendering not very useful. A polarizer on a fisheye, if it were possible would be highly unuseful.

Sirius, I’m not familiar with the lens or filter. Is there a bayonet fitting on both
Front and back of filters? For my Leitz 39mm filters I simply make a filter sausage by screwing filters together.

Both fisheyes have rear filters, no front filters.

To each his own. My fisheye only takes rear filters, and I have found a PL filter to be very useful. Most of my fisheye shots don't have much sky in them, even when I'm outside, but as I said, they do a great job when I want to get rid of reflections. No one is forcing you to use them, but others might want to.

How do you adjust the polarizing filter if it is in the rear of the lens? I see that if you are not including the sky that a polarizing filter could be useful with a fisheye, however then one needs to be careful of taking photos of the tops of their shoes.

Using any fisheye has its challenges, as you surely know, but with ample dexterity toes and skies can be avoided -- or cut out in the darkroom. And while rear PL filters add an additional bump in the road, they can be added -- when you want them -- by looking through them and figuring out where the PL MARK needs to be to get the effect you want. I do this all the time with large format gear because looking through the ground glass with a PL filter on the lens is often too dark. You simply get the PL filter at the point where you want and then put it on the rear of the lens in the same position.

Of course CIRCULAR PL filters don't have marks -- as far as I know -- but adding one is simple.

I would need a circular polarizer to start with, but I am not aware of a circular polarizer that will attach to the back of the Nikon f/2.8 16mm Fisheye AF lens.

Interesting. I had not thought of that.

 

[eli griggs]

Interesting. I had not thought of that.

They will also house 40mm threaded filters.

I use small pieces of photographic leather chamois as a bottom and top buffer against hard materials knocking against the bottle or passing outside kinetic energy into the filters and possibly damaging the glass elements.

The Nikon CA-2 Filter Wallet is what you need to do it the way Nikon wants you to. Some on ebay but a bit expensive. Perhaps lurk on there for a while until a cheap one comes along. The plastic on them cracks over time, but the interior seems to hold up.

I found two, they hold four filters each, at Filter Finder. So that solves that problem. Now to buy medium yellow, orange, red 23, IR 720 and the polarizer 95mm filters . GAS just feels so good.
