[Shawn Nelson]

Has anyone figured out a trick to rear net a PL lens (such as the RPPs) without use of adhesives?

I put the stocking on it in post Shawn - no adhesives.

Might be easier to use your 25-250 Arg Zoom.

Don't they make something like this for the pl mount?

Check out what Rich Lee did. The effect looked pretty cool and it sounds like it was something super cheap to make.

I'll assume that "bugger tape" is the west coast version of what we in NY call "snot tape." It is a gummy substance that will nicely adhere a net to the rear of the lens housing but is eas to peel away afterward with no residue. Just don't put it on the glass itself.

Yes, snot tape. I think also called rubber cement tape?
I have a small metal ring that fits over the rear element housing of my 25-250 HR. It is lined on the inside radius with soft side velcro that keeps it on via simple pressure. I use nail polish to put the desired net on it. A DP gave it to me probably 15 years ago. He had a bunch made up with different nets.
I have the internal filter holder for my 18-100. You can get slides from Cooke that you can cement different nets into.
Cooke also had a screw-in filter holder for the rear element on S4's that they discontinued after several mirror-shattering incidents on film cameras (I'm assuming either they were not screwed in all the way or somehow vibration made them loosen) I tried to convince them that I would only ever use them on my Red, but apparently they were all tossed, and no rental house seems to have them or want to give them up if they do.
Snot tape can still leave a residue, so I'd advise removing it carefully and completely and only keeping the nets on for the duration of your shoot.
Cheers,
Harry

If I recall correctly Snot tape is 3M ATG transfer tape, for those looking to buy some.
