I just acquired a SK43XL and am looking to buy the accompanying Schneider Center Filter 2I (IIi).

Thanks
Peter

This is a very difficult filter to find.  I too have the SK43mm but was unable to find the matching CF. 

However, there are many copies of the CF for the 47 XL out there, which I was able to acquire.  I then had SK Grimes custom make a retainer ring to hold the glass and fit onto the 43mm. 

It works very well, albeit you do get a slight vignette in the corners at 30mm of shift.
