BigBabyEarl Posted July 1, 2023 Share #21 Posted July 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Picking this back up. Is there a filter that works best and also allows the cap? Or is it only cap/clean vs filter/ no cap? I’d rather not use the hood as I think it looks so clean and compact without. Love the lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be easier to find a cap that fits the filter than a filter that fits the cap. If the filter has a front thread, there are generic 34mm clip-on caps. Otherwise, you might try a push-on cap like those made by Kaiser, if the filter ring is deep enough to retain a cap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeandmylens Posted July 2, 2023 Share #24 Posted July 2, 2023 I used this with my summaron. It's super thin, schott glass and allowed for use of the cap. Would've been nicer if it was silver. Have to order from Japan. Welcome, dear visitor!

This is what it says “It is a U-N original Ains super protect filter for classic lenses that pursues thinness without limit (1.2 mm thickness when installed).Using glass made by the world-famous glass manufacturer SCHOTT, water-repellent/oil-proof coat and ink-inking on the outer circumference of the lens have been applied to suppress the reflectance to 0.3% or less.The design is finished in a filter that adopts a nostalgic classic shape. ” 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 34mm UNX-9620 is here: https://www.un-ltd.co.jp/unx-9616unx-9626-en/ Does it fit the original cap that comes with the re-issued Summaron, or did you need to buy another cap? Looks like the filter doesn't have a front thread, so clip-on caps like the CamDesign mentioned above won't work. Incidentally, U.N make a lot of other nice accessories, many of which aren't widely available outside Japan. Their founder Mr.Sanai Sano apparently invented the blower brush ('The rubber shape of the blower brush was inspired by a compact taken out by a geisha who happened to be sitting in front of him when he took a bus on his way to a hot spring in Hakone.'). They also make what I think is the only metal ABLON-style film cutter guide currently in production. Edited July 2, 2023 by Anbaric Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my recollection it fit just fine with the summaron cap (I no longer have the summaron even though I really like the lens). However, the are no front filter threads as you mentioned and it’s so thin that you need to be careful not to tighten it too tight or it might be difficult to unscrew. I’ll see if I have a picture of the lens with the filter on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
