Zeiss Ikon filter question
View previous topic :: View next topic

A friend gave me some camera's of his late wife, a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super BC with extra lenses. There is also a yellow filter S27 352, but that doesn't fit on the Tessar 2.8/50mm.
Does anyone know for which lens that kind of filter is?

I have no clue. The Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 XS Lens takes 27mm filters, but I'm pretty sure that's not the answer you're looking for...

I think it will be one of the older 'series' style filters.
I seem to remember the holders for these often had numbers like the 352 to specify series & lens fitting. Many of these were push on types with the holders designed to unscrew & take replaceable filters.

Some of the more common series:

Series 4.5 (250 in the UK) takes 1" glass
Series V (320 in UK) takes 1 3/16" glass
Series VI (370 in UK) takes 1 5/8" glass
Series VII (420 in UL) takes 2" glass

.There are larger sizes but I've not come across them

27mm on the male side, fit the Contessa and Ikonta/Contina and any other that uses 28.5mm oush-on filters
Some can be used in reverse for the Contaflex IIRC (PS the 27mm works in reverse in my Contaflex S-Matic)
