If Hoya makes one big enough to fit they are reasonable priced and do the job. Also buy used if need be, rather than buying new and gettign junk.

btw there a different kind of cheap Sonia filters, which they call "protective" filters, which I assume aren't UV or SKY, just plain glass.

Meanwhile I have got a $20 heavystars metal hood, that may not vignette and more than enough protection.

Thank you Eugen, this also sounds as an interesting idea. But where should I be looking for GDR filters ? eBay ?

Cheers,

Yes, especially ebay.de

They had 3 filter producers in the GDR, I am not shure if all of them used the Schott glass.
