All the time I spend on eb**y looking at all the differeant rangefinder things,, I do not think I have ever seen any Russian filters. Like A36 slip ons or any come to think of it.... Did they produce them?
 
Yes, they exist! They (the Soviets) produced all sorts of filters in 36 push-on 40.5 screw for all the Jupiters except the J-9 which takes the 49mm.
There are also 36 push on polarizer filters and the uncommon 33.5 filters for the Iskra and Moskva 4. often you will see a camera being sold with one of these filters.
During the early 90's I saw boxes of these filters being sold at the flea markets in Greece.
I obtained a few yellow, green, and red filters for my Iskra from a friend since they were harder to find. They also produced a variety of tripods and camera clamps. I think that if the sellers thought that there was a demand for them they would start selling them with the lenses for a few dollars more as what they would call a "complex" - a set.

I could buy alot of filters for $21 over there- not to mention the cost of shipping! :cool:
