41mm screw-in.  A Tiffen 41F or Ednalite 602 Series VI adapter will work,
incidentally, and new 41mm Series VI adapters, hoods, and filters are
available from Harrison & Harrison in California at a VERY reasonable price
-- the Series adapter, hood, and two filters will probably run around $35
or so.

The Xenon and Summarit lenses also can take external bayonet fitting hoods
and filters, though these are now quite hard to locate.    I believe that I
have one filter in such a fitting but, for normal shooting, I use an
Ednalite 602 adapter ring and Series VI hood.
