I got a 34-52mm adapter, but I need to wind some plumbers tape over the 34mm thread ends to keep it attached to the enlarger lens. As it's not very secure I don't want to risk placing any expensive filters on it anyhow.
If you have any info as to a source for an adapter going from 34.5mm to a more common sized filter thread ... any size, as long as it's a common size such as 37 or even the 40.5 .... let us know.
I've been contemplating modding my old D70s not to full spectrum for this sort of stuff too.
Is your camera modified for UV?
looking forward to seeing more.
