Series 9 filters by Tiffen are a unique filter system once popular with older lens and camera design. Requiring a Series 9 adapter ring, this system allows you to use one standard size filter (Series 9) on many lens sizes. Series 9 filters, although screw-on style, require a bit more work to set up. The glass filter drops into the adapter ring and is held securely in place with the included retaining ring (adapter ring sold separately). Series 9 filters have no threads. Although these filters are no longer as popular as they used to be, they allow the use of filters for harder to fit lenses, a common problem with older camera lenses.
 
I checked my series 9 holder diameter. The glass diameter matches the outside diameter of my Cooke 9-50 zoom. So approximately 86mm coverage. Series 9 filters are in smooth non-threaded rings and drop into the holder that screws to my lens hood. The holder can handle two filters stacked.
 
Just a question to be 100% clear about the series 9 mounting system.
If I understand well, the filters are not threaded, they are about 85mm diameter, and they drop in a dedicated filter holder.
Does the filter holder have a screw-thread to mount on the filter thread of the taking lens? What is the diameter of the back thread of the filter holder then? 82mm? 86mm? other?

Tiffen Series 9 filters do not have threads, they require a Tiffen adapter that come in either 72mm, 77mm and 82mm. From there you can use step up rings that are about $10.
Very cost effective system, that works great.
