There are threads deep inside the lens ring right next to the front 
element.  You really have to look hard to see them.  The Summitar takes 
special filters made for that lens.  I managed to buy a couple a few 
years ago from a fellow LUGger.

An alternative is to use the 12585 lens shade made for the Summicron. 
If you are careful you can mount series-6 filters in the shade as you 
clip it on the lens.
