I have monochrome modified camera (D5100) and a set of dichroic colour filters for it that were taken form an old LCD projector. I'd like to shoot some RGB images using those filters, but i want to keep the filters secured to the lens using a round filter frame. where to buy those?

I just used a spare UV filter I got with some lens - unscrewed the inner ring, popped out the uv glass, used it as a stencil to cut out different filters. used UV/old film filters are a dime a dozen.

in 82mm size they're quite a bit harder to find

fair enough but I'd imagine still easier than "empty frames" - speaking of which, why won't you just get a Cokin filter mount? Seems like the best solution for multiple sheet-sized filters.
Btw, how'd you get it modified to monochrome, as some service or DIY? You can see remains of the filter on the frame edges, made me curious how it was taken off.

the plates are too big for filter mounts
the camera was modified by a hobbyist. basically the filter layer was grinded away with a polishing agent and q-tip.
hmm, maybe I have to buy a cheap uv filter and try to remove the glass from it. it's just that the filter's retaining ring are usually plastic in those cheap filter and can't really be removed without destroying the ring in the process...

aha, I found 2€ UV filter on eBay. brand is Rise (UK) and the adapter rings I bought from there were really good and these have metallic retainer rings.
