any way to find or make a rollei-baj2-to-anything-else adapter?

i'm currently using a nikon set of lenses for which i've bought a
number of 52mm and 77mm filters.

i'm also shooting some black and white with my beloved rollei f3.5
planar and, at the moment, i'm keeping with the fingers 52mm filters
in front of the shooting lens. unfortunately, this is very
uncomfortable and a number of times my fingers were included in my
photos --geeeez... what a newbie mistake :\--.

i can't find any bajonet-2 to 52 or 77mm (i don't mind if the filter
covers partly the viewfinder lens) adapter, then i was wondering if i
could manufacture one by myself. i have a serie of cnc machines and
laser cutting machines, but i don't have (and i couldn't find) a
bajonet-2 drawing. do any of you have one? do any of you know where
and if i could find such an adapter without making on by myself?

thanks in advance.

How about buying a scratched (= cheap) Bay-II filter, knocking off the
glass, and supergluing a step-up ring to the frame?

Heliopan 306 adapter ring converts Bay II to 35.5 x 0.5. Heliopan 218
adapter ring converts 35.5 x 0.5 to 52mm.

You don't have to make anything.

However using a 52mm filter on the viewing lens will let it protrude
somewhat into the taking lens.

Like your BMW Heliopan is also made in Munich - unless you have a BMW
from South Carolina.

this was one way to do it, but i still haven't found anything under
40eur (buying on ebay + shipping). if i can't find the drawing i'm
looking for, i think i'll go with those 40 eur.

thanks,

i did it some times, but i've never seen any of them. i'll keep an eye
on ebay and hopefully something will arrive.
bay 2 to 77 wouldn't be the best choice, but it could be ok for me if
i can't find any bay 2 to 52.

in the meanwhile, i started looking for that german one which has been
suggested by a another folk here on the newsgroup.

regards,
