     I finally found someone to explain this to me.  The Kodak used accessories
that are measured not in millimeters, but with a Series number.  These Series
sizes are still used today, but only on pro. cameras.
     So what I need is a step-down adapter ring from 49mm to Series 6.  So now
that I know what to ask for, where can I find one of those?
