The thread inside the bellows lens plate obviously is female. I've found the
original posting from earlier this year, made by Phillip Franklin. It's
Series VI (6), not VII. So you need an adapter with male S.VI on one side
and female standard thread on the other side, preferrably 49mm or 55mm,
otherwise you need a standard threaded step-up ring as well. Because the
power connector for the modelling light of the T10 gets in the in the way,
you'll also need at least one thick glassless filter to be used as an
extension ring to move the flash further away from the front plate; if you
want to use the modelling light you'll need a couple of these filters to
make space for the power plug.
