 Hi,

time ago I bought this beauty called Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Elmar f=9cm 1:4

I thought the filter thread was 33m but it seems to be bigger, 33.5 probably.

Maybe somebody in this forum knows?

Thanks.

A36

I use one Elmar 90mm (newer in LTM), with SOOGZ A36 to E39 screw-in adapter to use E39 filters that I have.

As a.noctilux says A36-filters were the usual ones for the 9cm Elmar. Though E34 will fit as well.

The Leitz 34mm filters screw in, but  they are less common than the clamp on A36 filters that got over the end of the lens.

And cheap 34mm lens hoods make a good alternative to a FIKUS or suchlike.

I have a couple of Heliopan E34 filters ( black,  brass, coated) for my Summaron 5,6/28 new-- the E34 filters are perfect for the Elmar.  If you don't care for period correctness, a Heliopan E34 sunshade short or tele will fit and is quite unobtrusive.  If you want to be more period correct, your FIKUS will slip over the Heliopan filter.
