Has anyone tried adding a filter holder to lens adapters?

Re: Has anyone tried adding a filter holder to lens adapters?

I ordered a Kodak Wratten 2x2" gel from Ebay, an 87 (again, for IR).

After trimming it a bit, it fit nicely in a PK (Pentax) to M43 adapter. I secured it with a bit of gaffer's tape.

Seems to work fine with my UWA, like an 8mm Rokinon fisheye. Focus is off but that's perhaps the lens and seems to occur anyway; the gel doesn't seem to significantly change it, if at all.

Changing the gel could get tricky. It's easy to crease or mess them up. And they aren't cheap (at least this 87; maybe there's another way).
