Hi all,
I wanted to purchase some filters for my lenses at a local shop but they seem to need me to check the lens cap of my lenses.
Unfortunately I am abroad and don't have access to some of my lenses. I was wondering if I could get help with the sizes if I list them here?
p.s. - I'm just linking random sites for image purposes.
1. Voigtlander Color-Skopar 2.5mm pancake lens
2. Leitz Elmarit-M, 28mm 2.8
3. Leica 35mm f2 Summicron-M ASPH
4. Hasselblad 500c/m, 80mm f2.8 Zeiss Planar (the silver one) - the basic lens that comes with it
I appreciate any help, thank you!

The Hasselblad Planar should be Bay 50.

Thank you, appreciate this!
I am not sure about the Elmarit, it seems larger than the Summicron and Color-Skopar.
I have the (older?) Elmarit.

You can substitute a 52mm pinch-type cap for the expensive Bay 50. Not perfect, but it works (in a pinch!) Ouch. Sorry...
Of course, you can't make that substitution with filters. Much better to buy a Bay 50 to 62 step-up ring. Or if you have filters in 55mm or 58mm, a step-up ring to those sizes. You'll save a great deal of money in the long run, and find a better selection in conventional threaded filters.

If you have the v3 28mm Elmarit then it’ll take a 49mm filter.
