The lens uses series 5.5 filters which were then held in place by the lens shade. The Elmar -C had a maximum aperature of f/4. I don't use the Elmar, having a German Rokkor instead, but the 40mm Summicron C which used the same Series 5.5 arrangement is a filter thread of 39mm for screw on filters, shades, if the 135 has a 39mm thread, it should screw on, but may vignette. Was the aperture 5.5 on that CL lens? will this hood be ok on a 90/4 or 135? Thanks again.
