(My Canon 35/2.8 takes the rare 40mm filter), the Serenar, which was an earlier version takes 34mm (x0.5mm), slightly easier to find, I think. Best place to find them, without ordering them especially, would be odds and ends trays/boxes at most photo dealers or at camera fairs. B&W list both rubber and metal hoods in 34mm, six brilliant 'pop' colour filters. Softars 1 and 2, close up lenses from 0.25 diopter (4000mm) to 3.0, a variety of 'special' filters for specific technical applications, infra red (though these are only single coated); linear, circular and even double polarising (uncoated), ND (7 varieties all either single or multi-coated), 12 different filters for b/w photography (inc. UV!!!! all either single or multi-coated) and a further 11 for colour photography, again you can choose whether single coating is sufficient or whether you'd prefer to have multi-coating! And just when you think that's all they do, they also offer an adapter ring, 34mm to filter size 58, not 39, 46, 49, 52 or even 55, but 58, and only 58, wierd or what! The B&W filter catalogue's a great read!A qualifying statement is that the catalogue was dated 11/96, check your (US?) importer for current details, Schneider Optics,Inc., 285 Oser ave. Hauppauge, NY 11788 Tel 516 761 5000. Fax: 516 761 5090 alternatively speak to the horses mouth in Germany, mail them at 2463 . 55513 Bad Kreuznach, (yup, that's an address...) or cal: (0671) 601-0 if you're feeling that your German's up to it!
