Some years ago I ordered a selection of filters and shades for my (folder) cameras, mainly Series types.

If it has to be a slim filter check whether two secondhand ones, one push on but wrong color (etc) and another of the same size with the right color filter can get their glass exchanged. I have done that before.

Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst

I am pretty sure what you need is a yellow filter in "series-V" size along with a 30mm series-V push-on adapter. To put it another way, there are two separate pieces to get and it is actually the push-on adapter which would carry the 30mm designation. My apologies if you are already familiar with the old series-system for filters, but if not you can read the description here.

As for where to find the adapters I have had great luck with eBay seller macintoshcat, who usually has an extensive selection at very good prices. For reference, here is macintoshcat's current listing for Series V adapters. From the link in the previous post I see that filterfind.net has a page specifically for Series V filters and adapters if you wanted to check out all their offerings. There is also a place called songofsnow.com which usually has a good selection of filters, adapters and hoods, although at a rather premium price in my opinion.

Once you have the adapter you just need the filter. The best bet is to search eBay for something like yellow (or "K2" or "No. 8") series-V filter.

And if you think you might be experimenting with different contrast parameters, you might get a set of filters for a decent price. They'll usually come in a leather case, with room to hold the adapter and a hood. Watch out for the old Wratten filters though, they usually haven't aged very well.

I just got a 30mm adapter for my Argus 40, and am looking to use the hood from a Bay 1/Series V adapter (for a TLR), as most Series V hoods are quite large.
