I've been using a 49 step-up so I can mount B+W filters, I got tired of
searching for series 6
and 7 filters. Trouble is if I stack all this stuff off the front (step-up
ring, filter, and lens hood)
I'm afraid it will vignette (esp on the 10mm, which is the late model
mkIII 10mm with more of a hood than the earlier waisted version of the
10mm). The 26 I'm less concerned about as I think
I can use a 49 conkin or general brand or expensive B+W.
If anyone has any 49mm metal lens hoods let me know, I can pay for
shipping. : )

I'd never heard about using an Aaton. The XTR was released in 1983, I
believe, was it an LTR?
Why the decision to use the Aaton?
The print looks great BTW. Was it shot on Ektachrome? 7250 perhaps?
