Extra B11 Filter for 30mm C Fisheye.

[Daniel Unkefer]

He-He. Look what I found on Ebay, for my new 30mm Fishy Lens. I want this for the filter mount:

Quite rare to find one up for sale, identical to the one that came with my lens.

Untill Hasselblad took over all existing stock from Carl Zeiss about a year ago these filters were still available from Zeiss.
They did not come cheap but at least they were available.
The unlucky buyer of a 30 mm fish eye lens that did not check the presence of the four filters had to pay in excess of 700 USD for 4 tiny filters.
Without doubt a lucky strike this auction.


How about the other three, red, yellow and neutral?

Yes I got the four original filters and case, when I got my new lens. Although it's orange (like the one for the 40mm), blue (now I have two!), yellow, and clear.

I'm thinking of changing the glass out on this new (2nd) blue one, to something somewhat more exotic. This one is color conversion filter, from daylight to tungsten color film.

Without doubt a lucky strike this auction.

Hello Daniel,

I know you like to experiment with filters but do be carefulhere.
You may have one of the last free blue filters available for the 30 mm fisheye lens.
I know chances of putting the blue conversion filter to good use are not very large.
Still it is an absolute rare filter you are about to modify.

Here is my new conversion filter for the 30mm fisheye, it has arrived from the UK very quickly. It's in perfect condition. For now I will store it with the other filters in the fisheye case. I have room for one extra filter in there.
