Jason Hall asked a question about a filter.  As I recall, the filter was
marked CF which does not stand for Cloud Filter.

I believe the CF filter is a post war filter produced by Leitz, New York .
The CF stands for "Clear Flash" (remember in the olden days they had filament
flash bulbs that came in clear or blue).  It was used to balance Type A
Kodachrome when using clear flash bulbs.
