To the contrary, there IS a filter thread on the Summitar, a 36.4mm tapered
thread unique to this lens.  Both Tiffen and Ednalite made Series VI
adapters to fit this thread, and I use the Tiffen one on my lens.  (I
rarely shoot with filters and generally use the Sreies VI adapter to afford
the use of a lens hood.)
