I wish to purchase contrast and uv filters for my CV lenses-15, 21, 28, 35, 50 and 90mm. Most of these are said to take 39mm. I assume that the filter will be a "drop-in" rather that a threaded one. While the 15mm presents a problem, the others should be easy to find. Where? I would prefer B+W filters if possible.
Thanks for your suggestions/help.

In US cameraquest, in UK RobertWhite.

The 15mm needs electrical tape and the 77mm filter adapter for the CV12mm, if you can tolerate the bodge

Yes, I am in the United States. I checked the CamerQuest site and found no mention of filters- perhaps a "senior monent". Do you have a web address?

I was wrong I cannot find them on Stephen's site, dont understand this as filters are high margin.

I can only speak for one lens: 75/2.5 takes 43mm screw in filters. I have had pretty good luck buying filters from other RFF members.
 
bhphotovideo.com is a good choice for buying new- usually have everything in stock.

popflash has become a new favorite too.
 
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions/help. B and H was my first choice-but wanted to check to see if folks had other places. I am trying to improve - they tend to be "muddy" - the middle tones in my scanned images and wondered if perhaps a contast filter might help. Yes, I know I should post images so that you could comment- I haven't figured out how to do this!

I've only bought one thing from them, but http://www.2filter.com/ specializes in filters and has B+W. No complaints about the service, but they're in the same state as me, so I'd have been really surprised if it took long to arrive.
