There also are Realist-to-Series-5 adapters that were made by Tiffen.  I have
a set of those but the lens cover doesn't flip down anymore while they are
installed....

I have the only set I've seen,  but then, I've been "looking" for less than
a year -- and haven't been looking for those since I got my pair.  Couldn't be
too rare if I found 'em so quickly.  Maybe not as "kewl" as real Realist ones, but
maybe they'll do while waiting to find "real" ones.

       posted -- not emailed to George via the net.... :-)
