Hi Matteo,
best place to look is local camera fairs or Ebay, where accessories for the Bessa II turn up from time to time. The original metal hood (product code to look for is 310/37) is beautiful, rare and expensive (if you're lucky around 50 Euros, but more likely closer to 70~80 Euros or more), but most generic plastic or metal push on 37mm hoods should work okay. As an external finder you can look for the Voigtlander Kontur finder 6x9. Beautifully crafted filters for B&W work are also available from Voigtlander, they are 37mm push on size. Code numbers are 301/37 for light yellow, 302/37 for dark yellow, 306/37 for Green, 308/37 for Orange and 317/37 for UV.The yellow filters turn up from time to time, others are more difficult to find. Of course any push on 37mm filter will work. B+W filters are a good brand.
Enjoy your camera and post some pictures.
