For the 77mm filter thread you will need two rings from the P series. These can then be taped together to give a thread each side.

Hi Don,

I think I'm now sorted. Having played around with my lenses and in particular an old 50mm Takumar lens from my Spotmatic days, I've decided that the most appropriate combination will be my current 200mm lens with the 50mm reversed. I already have a 49/58 coupling ring (male-male) which goes on the 50mm lens and all I now need is step-down rings from 72mm to 58mm which I have just ordered from http://www.vintagecameras.co.uk/stepping.htm. It needed two rings to do the job. I will report back when I have some results.

Next problem is to sort out the lighting - there's already tons of help here on that.

Dave
