B+W and Heliopan still list common push-on filter sizes as being made (at least on order), and the A32 or A37 push-on filter sizes of the different 532 lenses both are as common as can be. But you may have to order directly from the factory, the nearest distributor or through some expert mail order shop, as the common kind of digital-heavy photo store won't handle obscurities they cannot order through a point and click interface.
Coated Zeiss Ikon filters are still good by modern standards and are far from rare, these sizes having been common to many of their cameras, so ebay is another option.

This ebay seller has lots of vintage filters and is a good guy to deal with.

He's a good source for filters/hoods for older cameras or lenses.
I've bought from him several times and been happy every time.

Depending on the lens, you might be able to use a traditional screw-on filter. With some Zeiss Ikon cameras, the filter is screwed on reverse (upside down).
The most common threaded filter sizes for Zeiss Ikon cameras was 30.5mm, 35.5mm and 40.5mm.
If the outer part of the lens distance scale is smooth, you'll need a push-on filter.
If the outer part of the lens distance scale is knurled, you probably can use a screw-on filter.

I'm looking for a 32mm push on filter.
-What brands should I stick with? Does it matter or are they all more or less the same? I'm not sure if they're all coated and glass and if it's easily identifiable from pictures. I see Zeiss Ikonta, Voigtlander, Actina, etc.
-Whats a good price? I see them go for $40 on ebay, that sounds a little steep to me.
