I can also quote Vince's email when I asked the list about Ser. 5.5 filters:

'The treads ARE different but not so much so that you can't use a regular 39
mm UV filter on the two C lenses (40mm Summicron and 90mm Elmar). Just screw
it in gently and stop as soon as it stops -- don't keep going. It serves
perfectly well to protect etc but it's really only about 65-75 percent
screwed in. It's not loose and lens caps fit snugly over and come off
without disturbing them, but you can see a fine line of space between the
rim of the filter and the upper rim of the lens barrel.

Vince P'

One the B&H website they list 6 B+W UV filters, if you can't find a Ser. 5.5.
