Hi all,

I'm after an orange filter for my Canon 35mm f2 ltm lens. It's proving difficult to source, so thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has any recommendations. 

I'm also happy with a step up/down ring if necessary. Just something that fits!

Thank you

Costa

Edit : its a 40mm filter thread I believe.

Get a cheap 40 to 40.5mm stepup ring. 40.5mm filters are common.

There has been a similar question for the 50mm 1:1.8 recently, which also has the uncommon 40mm filter thread:

Thank you. I cannot seem to find one. May I ask where you purchased yours from?

I agree with the step-up ring option. It's a relatively easy way to find both filters and hoods that work with any lens. (I say "relatively" easy because sometimes it is hard to find specific step-up rings). I do this a lot - especially with hoods. I have a number of lenses for LTM / Leica M) which include the following: 39mm (of course), 40mm (Canon), 40.5 (most other European lenses other than Leica), 41mm (Leica Summarit) etc. So for me it makes sense to buy one stepping ring for each lens type and one hood that works with all of them then this is a good outcome. BTW 43mm thread hoods work well with many lenses mentioned above because they are big enough to fit on any of the above lenses but small enough not to look weird when you have mounted them. I would do something of the same sort with filters.

The 40 to 40.5 mm step ups are often made of aluminium, not much better brass (aluminium tends to "bind").  I have a couple because i use several Canon lenses on my M's.

Do not overtighten,  and a minute smear of "nose oil" or vaseline will make for easier removal.
