48mm red filter

[Luf]

Hello

My lonely canonet is searching for a beautiful 48mm red filter. If anyone has one and want to sell it please contact me. I've searched in the *bay but it seems to be a rare size/color filter.
If somebody knows links where i can buy it, pleeeease tell me.

Thanks

I think Backalley had a line on some. Maybe he will see this soon.

my local shop had a bunch of new old stock filters in 48 size. i'm pretty sure they have red.

but i can't drive for another couple of weeks, (doc's order) but i can check after that if you're still looking.

Try a 48-49mm step up ring. They are relatively cheap and the choice of filters and lens hoods is then much bigger.

Hi. Thank you all for your help. Maybe some of you can help with this question: my canonet with a 48mm orange filter seems to shade a litle on the metering cell. Do you think i should get instead a step-up ring 48mm-52mm. And the step-up ring isn't going to block part of the viewfinder?

Joe, thanks for your help, maybe later you can help me. Get well soon! I hope it isn't nothing too serious with your health.
