You are correct again Matt, My wife says i am going deaf and I think I am going blind as well. It is a 52mm. Sorry for being a pain.

Thankyou Matt. How I missed seeing the thread i shall never know - and i went to Specsavers! Yes it is there and i think it must be a 53mm. because on the lens there is an o with a forward slash thru it and 53. I assume that the actual filter size will therefore be 52mm.I have noted your comments about the graduated ND. Colin

On my ME super I have a skylight and a u.v. filter on the 50mm lens. However when i attach my zoom 80-200 there is no facility to screw the filters on.Is it possible to buy a cap fitting filter? Or does one not fit filters to zooms?

I have seen a good offer for sale of this film. Has anyone used it?

Thankyou all for your help and sound advice.I shall feel more confident in using this zoom lense now. By the way John when my wife came home tonight i asked her why did she have a zoom that does not fit her camera, She replied that she has never used it because she has misplaced the adapter. What are they?!!!

Thankyou. You are correct it does not appear to fit the Minolta but clips into the Pentax perfectly.I am just waiting now for imformation on how to use it.

I have used my ME super with its 50mm lens for many years now. I now have a need to photograph wildlife at a distance and need to upgrade. My wife has a Hanimex M.C. auto zoom f=80-200 1:4:5 macro Lens which she never uses with her Minolta X-300 camera. This lens seems to fit the M.E.super but i have no idea whether it will work. If it will can i use both auto and manual as i do with the 50mm lens? I would be grateful for your gentle comments as i am at the bottom of the learning curve.
