14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found

- Spare Zephyr socket blocks can be purchased from Tiffen or borrowed from a vest as a temporary solution.
- The screw hole pattern on Zephyr socket blocks matches the standard pattern, allowing any Garfield mount with standard holes to accept it.
Depends on
