Want to Buy WTB: Heliopan B60 Yellow Green filter

removedacct3 · Apr 7, 2021

Looking for a Heliopan Yellow Green filter with a Hasselblad B60 bajonet mount.

I would like one of these too! On eBay, I see some Bay 50 yellow-green filters (and I have one), but none in Bay 60 size. I looked at the web pages for B+W and Heliopan, and neither offer any green filters at all now. Two years ago, I was lucky to buy a Bayonet II Heliopan yellow-green filter for Rolleiflex from a UK seller. That was a rare item, also. Good luck searching.

You might want to consider an adapter that will allow you to use a 62mm green filter from Hoya or Tiffen.

It looks like Tim at filterfind.net has a Hoya Yellow-Green in Bay 60.
He's a good filter source.

Few and far between. I've had mine for several years and use it all the time. Good luck!

I am not in a hurry and for the sake of consistency I keep looking for a Heliopan filter. Nevertheless, thank you for the pointer. And it is good to know that filterfind.net is a reliable source. Thanks!

It took a little while, but I finally found a B60 YG filter. Hurray!

It's not a Heliopan, but a Hasselblad filter. I have no doubts that I'll do its job, but I do wonder .... who made the Hasselblad branded filters? Any insights?

When I can no find the Bay 60 lens I want, I simply buy threaded 67mm, 72mm, and larger filters, preferably with brass construction, to go onto a brass bay 60 to 67mm thread adapter, that way I can usually find a nice filter from Helio, B&W, etc and use it while waiting to find the right deal on the Bay 60 filter I want for my Hasselblad.

Buy several good bay 60 to, for example, 67mm filters and you can leave the adapter on each lens for more rapid filter exchange, though Hasselblad does no often involve "rapid" photography.

Cheers.

For some hard find filters or filters not made by Hasseblad, Heliopan or B+W, I bought a B60 to 67mm adapter and 67mm lenses.
