Filter sizes for Rollei 35 lenses

Postby rogerchristian » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:23 pm

Today a friend brought in his 40/3.5 Tessar camera looking for a filter which would also mount a lens hood (male/female threads).

The 24mm filter he had did not have a front thread, so it was filter OR lens hood, but not both at the same time.

This got me wondering about what filter size for each lens option.

I had remembered a 30.5 mm dia. for some lenses, but I cannot confirm that in my checking.

And, is there a filter made in the various sizes which will also permit a lens hood to be screwed on at the same time?

It has been quite a while since I had a Rollei 35, so I am hazy on these details.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

The 3,5/40 Rollei 35 have 24mm Filterthread. The original Rollei shade "snapped" over the Rollei filter (from behind) and was held in place by the filter.

30,5mm filters will fit the Sonnar-equipped Rollei 35.
