12mm Leitz filters...fits..what lens?

[Rich Silfver]

Posted the question over at p.net as well but thought I'd see if I could maybe get an answer by extending it here as well.

After months of searching I finally ended up finding some original 19mm (S19) Leitz filters for my Elmar 50/3.5 - but at the same time I also ran into - and got - two 12mm filters that I must admit I have no idea what lens (if any) they would fit.

Anyone?

The one in black mount is marked: 1 Ernst Leitz Canada Ltd. Midland
The one in chrome mount is marked: F Ernst Leitz Canada Ltd. Midland

the 6.3/28 maybe? Or aren't they Orako rangefinder filters?

a wild guess: maybe some kind of filters for microscope lenses?

This may be the winner. Or a telescope optic.

My best guess would be one of the Leica cine camera lenses. You don't see them very often now, but they were sold for quite some time.

Is the prize an M8?????? :angel:

The look to me like RF contrast filters - I have no leica screwmount bodies nearby to measure.

No, not ORAKO or OKARO's.

No prize... :)

Screw in filters for collapsible 50mm f3.5 Elmar? I have a Elmar to Series V adapter that is similar...and I use it on a FED 50mm collapsible.

Elmar 50/3.5 takes S19 filters. These are 7mm smaller - S12.
Honestly, I have no idea what they can screw into.
