40/1.4 filters

[pukupi]

I've been convinced to give black and white film but I'm having a real problem getting a set of black and white (yellow, orange, red) filters for my 40/1.4 S.C.

The range of new 43 mm filters is limited and although I managed to find a nice set of old 43 mm Leica filters at my local camera shop, the thread doesn't quite fit. A 43 mm filter adapter would seem like an obvious solution but I am yet to find one that will fit with the lens hood attached.

Does anyone know where I can find a set of 43 mm black and white filters?

Hoya makes very good 43mm filters. I have a set of UV, Yellow, Orange and Red filters in 43mm by Hoya.

B&W do a full line of them too.
Dunno where you'd get them in Osaka, I know Yodabashi in Tokyo (near Shinjuku Station) stock them.
Mainline in Aus have a full range too.....
