I was at a local camera swap meet where a vendor had a set of slip-on
filter holders that would hold series 5 Filters. The label on them said
they would fit in the TDC Colorist cameras.  I asked to borrow them for
a moment and went to another dealer's table and try to fit them onto one
of his Colorists and found that they did not fit (the adapters diameter
was too small).  The dealer then backed off saying maybe they would have
to be modified.  

That led me to believe that maybe there are some slip-on filters
somewhere which may fit.

Also, please reply on-list because I think other people may be
interested.  I used the search engines and saw other people had similar
questions which didn't seem to be answered, so the solution must not be
simple.
