Leitz A36 Filter Set

[Lawrence Sheperd]

Picked up a 6-filter cased set of Leitz A36's at the thrift store the other day. Does anyone have a link to (or knows off the top of their head) the filter factors for the various colors? Thanks much!

ON EDIT: I had been hoping to find recommended factors from Leica, but I guess I will just use the generic factors listed in various sources. Shouldn't be too different I would suppose.

I believe Ken Rockwell's list on the Leica A36 filters covers a number of them.

I know a complete list is in the Leica Collector's Guide, but I don't have it at hand here at the moment.

This is the one I use when I want to refresh my old memory on filters.

Great! Thanks much oltimer and MF. I haven't looked at Rockwell's site in-depth, but I'll give it a go!

I also found this, which groups filters by manufacturer: http://www.dofmaster.com/bw_filters.html

From the Leica Manual, a 1938 edition my grandfather left me.

That's great, AOA! Thanks much! And what a wonderful memento of your grandfather - very special.

Don't know if this will show up any better. Sorry, I don't do Flicker so no large images.

Much appreciate the effort AOA. I downloaded, printed and stuck it in my camera bag.
