I have some 39mm Nikon filters bought out of a bargain basket. At several Nikon dealers I have subsequently asked about these, I got from blank stares to 'you're nuts' in response. Now I now I should have gone to the pro sections. It seemed that everone here, but me knew what they were and for which lenses. These filters seem perfect for the Summicron-C, but I lose the ability for a screw in lens shade. I am impressed by their quality, more so than the Nikon 62mm filters (save the Polariser) I have on my Bronica.
