The pride of my camera stable is a Hassy 500C/M with a couple of lenses and a few backs. I never thought I'd be able to afford one, but digital has knocked the film-cam market to bits as the pro's sell off their Hassy kits to purchase high-end digital gear.
Accessories, however, haven't followed suit. I came across a tip on a Hassy discussion spot -- instead of getting expensive and harder-to-find Hassy filters, get an adapter that lets you use screw-in filters.
I ordered one today, for 52mm filters, so I can use my Nikon filters. I was given some expired Konica IR 120 film to try out and once the adapter arrives I can pop on a red filter and see what happens.
Fingers crossed that it works out okay. I'll be shooting small apertures outdoors so don't think I'll have a vignetting problem.

Likewise - I've been using one of these adaptors for a while now, no problems to report, not seen any vignetting yet. Currently using a beat-up 503cx + 80mm, plus my Nikon +3 dioptre quite a lot, really should take advantage of the wonderful prices and get that 120mm Random example (perhaps not the best, about to go dev some FP4 with more using this setup):

I'm glad to hear you've not seen any vignetting. Still waiting for me to get here...
