Hello:

Inside the box of the camera Rodenstock 9X 12 cm I found this filter Agfa, adaptable to diverse diameters.

Bests Regards: David.

What a brilliant idea, and a brilliant photo. The box is in great condition too. Just lovely. Have you put this to use yet?

I have a couple of these twist spring holders as well, from several brands, in different sizes and from the thirties to sixties going by the package designs. Must have been a common configuration for series and gel filter holders in Germany at the time.

Probably Omag were the maker behind them all - I own two in Omag boxes, but haven't ever seen one by any of the other filter factories (like Cenei, B+W or Heliopan), while there are plenty by camera and reseller brands.

Hello:

This filter adapts itself without problems to many lenses as the Industar 50mm-f:3,5. I am going to take photos with my Pentax k 200 D in B-W with lenses to which there adapts the filter Agfa and they show the results.

In another face of the box there is stamps of customs that they date the import to Spain (Europe) between 1931 and 1936.

Greetings: David.

You either twist the filter against the holding spring or (on the pictured one) slide the tab on the holding spring by 45° degrees to open the spring so that it can slide over the lens.
