Filters are 35.5mm and screw onto the outside of the lens.
You can still buy new B+W filters, but most are special order (expensive). I've bought about half of my filters used on eBay with good success.
Can't recall the hood size: A36 perhaps.

IIRC, the Super Ikonta III & IV take a 32mm push on (A32, not sure about the model #) & an exterior (to the lens) thread 35 or 35.5mm accessories. I've never seen any of the filters on eBay (though I also haven't been looking really hard), but A32 shades/hoods (from Zeiss Ikon, Agfa, & various lesser/generic brands) do appear now & then. 1 warning re: the hoods, the metal on some of the A32 shades that fit fine on a Agfa Super Isolette, etc. are too thick to fit on the Super Ikontas.

Per ZeissFan's (& my) post, the thread is on the outside of the inner ring surrounding the lens. You can't see it easily because of the outer ring. It's the 2nd ring that also keeps the thicker A32 hoods/shades from fitting.

On my Super Ikonta III with the 1:3,5 / 75mm Novar-Anastigmat fits an old push-on lenshood with dia. 32mm. Alas there is no brandname on it. Just a sticker 32mm and the text "made in Germany". I just measured the thickness of the lips and its about 0,75 mm.
I think that with push-ons you could have the same problems as mentioned in another thread about the Mess-Ikontas i.e. too thick lips or conflict with sticking out head(s) of lensring setscrews.
Look here for the other thread :
