It takes the ubiquitous 36mm clamp-on filters which are in plentiful supply on the used market. There's even a swing-out polarizer. The LTM 35 Summaron 3.5 is a neat little lens, hardly larger than a collapsed 50 3.5 Elmar LTM. The correct hood for this lens as well as the earlier 35 Elmar is "FOOKH", prized as much for the laugh quotient of the codeword as for its ability to reduce flare ; ) DT
