The A36 filter is a slip on. You could look for a SOOGZ which adapts A36
lens to Summicron filters(the book says 42mm but I suspect a misprint as
all my Summicrons are 39mm)

 Lens hoods get complicated.  You can start with the pretty common FIKUS or
item number12530; this is a variable hood that will shrink or expand from
35mm to 135.  Your other choice on hood is the IUFOO or 12575.  This hood
fits 90 and 135 Hektor lenses and can be silver/black or all black.
Various engravings related to fitment.
