Get a 35.5 --> Series 6.  Then you can get any filter you want for $5.  =
Even Leica filters.


- -- Hoya no longer makes 35.5mm=20

- -- Olympus made 1a, CS and diffusers


You can usually find Kalimar, Vivitar, Spiratone, and Walz filters in =
this size for not a huge amount of money.


Other cameras with 35.5mm filter size are Konica III and IIIA (f/2 =
lens), Ikoflex, Olympus Pen and Pentax 110 SLR, if that helps.
