 I got some Bay 1 to 49 mm adapters from Goodwin
Photo for $15 each (AFAIR). They don't say where
they are made but aren't Japanese quality. One
of them doesn't quite fit on my Ricohmatic 225's
or Diacords. I need to do a little filing on it.

  The cheapest way to (eventually) use polarizers
and other filters on my Stereo 225.
