Hi all, it seems that virtually all filter manufacturers have stopped making them in bayonet VI mount, and what is still available for sale new is only what shops still have in stock. The basic UV with SH-PMC coating from Heliopan cannot be ordered anymore from my favorite place to buy online. B+W, Heliopan, Rodenstock, none of them show Bay. VI on their catalogs.
1. Are there known resellers with a large stock of those ?
2. Are there other high-quality filter manufacturers that make them in Bay. VI?

Not what you are looking for. but Filter Find has a Bay VI to 72mm step-up ring. This should open up a world of new filters.

I know nothing about vignetting issues, etc.

I prefer avoiding converters, as I’d like to keep the bayonet mount, much quicker to use when piling up filters…

That UV with SH-PMC coating would be a good start… so I’d like to find a place that has some, new, in stock (many places list “in stock” when in fact they always order it from Heliopan, and discover too late it cannot be delivered anymore).

Sorry I missed the specifics in the original post. I have a Rollei Bay 6 yellow filter and a Rollei Bay 6 Polarizer that seem hard to come by if you are interested.
