I own a Zeiss Super Ikonta B with X-sync; it has the coated Opton-Tessar lens. I really would like to fit a filter and shade to this thing, but am baffled by the size.
Camera-specific Zeiss literature, found on the web, lists filters as 37mm, but there are no 37mm threads to be found on the camera. There are not enough threads in the lens mount barrel to screw in a filter, either. I figured that since they listed it with a mm designation that it would be a thread, but it doesn't look like it.
One other listing lists the Proxars as what is now an old-fashioned slip-over type mount. I measured the ring over which the Proxars might fit, with a U.S. standard dial caliper and it is, sure enuff, about 37mm. The ring is 1.456-7" and 37mm is 1.4566".
Where does one get a slip-on filter or slip-on adapter-to-whatever type mount these days?
Help is appreciated.
