    Can I use my 3x3 glass filters on a 35mm AF camera?

    I found my old Sailwind filters...thought they were lost forever. Its about $150 value. Wondering if I can purchase a mount that will work with 35mm AF cameras. Otherwise, anyone want to buy some sailwind filters?

    I have the following: All Center Clear
    HI-Soft #3
    Glamour Soft #1
    Glamour Soft #3 (never used)

    Like New condition.

    Recognize the avatar?

    I guess I misread it before - sorry, I'm a moreon. You need 3x3, so check out Cokin A-series which is 67mm and very close to 3x3. They have filter rings to mount it to the lens, up to 62mm.

    Here's some info on it - click here, but also scroll up to see an overview of the system. The good news is that a local shop may have it so that you can try it in person to see if it works, and it should be a lot less expensive than the Lee system.

    Have you checked out the Cokin style filter holders?
