Does anyone happen to know the filter size for the Schneider/Xenon f/2 on the Retina IIa? Thanks...

I'm pretty sure they are 32mm.
Based on this from the manual:
"They are fitted with screw-in mounts and are marked FI/32 to FVII/32 UV."
Here is a link to the manual:

I owned a IIa and had a few filters but they were marked "for Retina" or some variation. No number designation so I'm not certain about the actual size.

I searched for a filter setup to use in the filter threads of my II and IIa, and found the Tiffen Series V adapter. This takes all the Series V filters of course and mounts on both the Schneider and Rodenstock lenses. Diameter of the threaded end of the Tiffen adapter is about 30mm.
I have the press-fit series VI adapter with filters and hood as well, and they work on the IIa, but not on the II (a little loose fitting).

The Retina IIa uses a 29.5mm screw in filter, as do almost all Kodak Retina cameras. Kodak used a bizarre scheme for using the outer diameter of the filter, which is 32mm.
