msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | Aug 15, 2011 10:48 | #2 Cokin makes "Extension Rings" in various sizes that are exactly what you are looking for: The come in useful for lenses where the front element and filter threads retract when focusing or zooming.

So, just get the cheapest filter you can find and do that.

msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | Aug 15, 2011 13:22 | #5 If you have an old filter lying around you could try to remove the glass, but Cokin Extension Rings are only $7.69 so why bother?

Thanks but I know all this already ,Im trying to buy somewhere but I dont know where factory frames without signs because if I buy some realy cheap ready to screw filters is still too expensive ,the cost of this frame must be under 1$ ,I have time and will find them once

Not too difficult. The Ran wrote in post #12940922 Ebay seems cheap enough, plenty of UV filters ranging from 25mm to 72mm (and probably some I missed) for less than £3 ($5). Another solution. Jurgen

msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | Aug 16, 2011 07:45 | #10 Just curious, what do you need 100 for?

Even at a $1 each that's $100, I'm assuming you don't have 100 lenses so you want to stack them to increase the extension distance in which case it may be more cost effective to pay a machine shop to custom make them from some appropriate sized tubing.
