Well, while I hardly regard a lens made barely more than a quarter-century back as "old", I would point out that it should take 43mm, not 42mm, filters. If yours DOES take 42mm filters, then it shares this honour with only one other known lens, the immediate Postwar Carl Zeiss Jena 4/135 Triotar. In other words, brother: if yours DOES take 42mm filters, SELL IT, FAST! To a collector. Make large dollars, Canadian or US. Invest these in a series of new Leica lenses!
