Hello Jim,

Replied to Pete's related question with an answer discussing Bronica S
series cameras.

Bottom line is that there is so little room between the back of the shutter
and the film plane that fitting the polyester filter would be a real
challenge.

I would recommend using a "P" size Cokin type filter and holder, but if you
get snowed in and have a bit of time on your hands then you may come up
with a solution :-)



All the best,
