Hi Robert,
Yes, I do have a filter on there.

hmm. I need a yellow one of those. What is the filter size?

I'm not sure of the size (E19?), but the Walz filters for the Argus C3 are often used. They're inexpensive and available, but very old (50's). The original Leica as above are from the '30s, I believe, and harder to find.
A SOOGZ will adapt regular E39 filters. A VOOLA/SOOGZ combination is Leica OCD perfection.

I sold my chromium barnacks to finance the bp conversion and part of the summarons.

I just need two or three more lenses and that's it!

I totally agree, beautiful.A recent snapshot of my Leica IIIf RD ST with Leica LTM Summarit 50mm f/1.5 lens, it's for me the most beautiful camera I've ever used ;-)

The Summarit (IMHO) represents the epitome of Leica lens feel and finish.

Combined with the inability to find a proper lenshade for under $200 ;-)

40.5 Kenko filter + W-40.5 lens hood from the famous seller on eBay, less than 50$

(Leica IIIC K MOOLY C - Sports Rig)
Santa helped me put this rig together this year.............based on some camera gear an old German man once told me about years ago, he was a Nürnberger Nachrichten Sports Photographer in the late 1940's early 50's, shooting the hometown Soccer team and Motorcycle races, he had a postwar "Flat Top" IIIC with a Black MOOLY C motor and ROSOL finder and he used the kit for many years and sadly had sold it BEFORE I met him.
(I did buy all of his Leica Fotografie magazines complete from 1949 to 1966).
My Sports rig is my 1945/48 Leica IIIC K "Sharkskin" conversion LOOKX with era correct f2/50 Summitar SOORE w/ SOOPD wartime issue "Barndoor" hood, ROSOL finder and 1948 Black paint MOOLY C Leica Motor #5481 as delivered originally on May 7th 1948 to a Photo Studio in Munich, Germany.
This is something completely different and will be a major feature camera in my up-coming online camera museum.
Thanks Santa!
Enjoy!

My current LTM setup.
I have found a Summitar, same year as the IIIf, but it has a big scratch so I might pass it...

Lens on the IIIf (converted IIIc) is a I-61
