I have a number of the Xume magnetic holders in the 67MM size as I find them quite useful on a few different lenses that use that size filter.

I recently bought the Fuji 70-300, which also uses that size filter, and while I do have the lens adapter to put onto that I have discovered, to my chagrin, that Manfroto discontinued the product.

Searched all the usual suspects: B&H, Adorama, Roberts, Samys, KEH, MBP, Amazon to no avail - did see one on eBay in Australia but the seller does not ship out of country. I did send them a note asking if they would mail it to me, but meanwhile was wondering if anyone here might have the 67MM size filter holder (the part you screw onto the filter, that then connects to the lens adapter that is screwed onto the lens).

Also, if anyone can suggest another camera store that I can ask, I'd even appreciate that.

Different brand - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YXFQWCM/ref=aod_recommendations_asins_2

eBay - https://www.ebay.com/p/1910291882

I paid B&H $53 for mine in 2013. The price increases are brutal, especially for a thin metal ring.

Thanks, Jerry - the Amazon one you note is 77MM, not 67MM. Likewise the only 67MM I did find on eBay is in Australia and I have written to see if they would ship it to me in the states.

That second one on Amazon, though, the Kase, is interesting - I'm assuming it must be "compatible" with the Xume...

So thank you for pointing that one out!

Fast reading - slow thinking.

I have a 77mm adapter, so that number was stuck in my head.

Well again, thanks - I did order the other branded one from Amazon and it should arrive tomorrow...I'm going to assume it works with the Xume stuff.

An update - well sunuvagun....it would seem the nice folks at Kase (the other brand of magnetic filter holders) opted to reverse the positioning of the magnets so they will not work properly with the Xumes. That is, their lens cap (for instance) will not sit properly on the Xume lens adapter but hovers over it on one side - I wonder who to thank at Kase for making it incompatible? Skeevy bums.

I mean, a "hover filter" mighe seem like a good idea for Marty McFly, but this is just moronic. And I still cannot find a Xume in the 67MM size.
