[OM] Cokin adaptor

Some time ago I went out of my way to get an adaptor to use Cokin filters
on a compact camera - I use it on an old Yashica T2 (Zeiss lens, yum!) and
the filter covers the viewer as well. Today, I wandered into a local store
and found five of the damn things at half the price I paid! They're
discontinued now as they don't suit zooms.
If anyone wants one, let me know. They screw on to the bottom of a compact
(or velcro) and take up to 3 Cokin type 'A' size filters - no rotators
though, although they are impossible to use with a rangefinder anyway. They
should fit things like an XA type, although focussing would be tricky with
the original. Filter is held either 13/16" or 1.5" (21mm or 34mm)in front
of the tripod screw hole, more on some cameras if they clear the hinge.
Cost was $15 AUD (about twenty cents USD last time I looked!) If you can't
live without one, email off list.
