Filters for Minox ML35

I have a Minox ML35. I'm getting back to black and white photography, and would like to use B&W in the Minox ML as well as my full frame 35 SLR.

<p>

I'm looking for filters. Minox sells a slip-on hood, a neutral density, and a skylight. I'm interested in yellow, orange, red, green for B&W effects.

<p>

Am I fooling myself?

In addition to a skylight, a ND filter there is a close up lens for

Minox 35 series camera.

A good source for color filters for B&W is to look for

some 32mm slip on filters from oldy and goody camera manufacturers ( Zeiss Ikon, Voigtlander etc )

MINOX 35 AND FILTERS

Hoya makes 40.5 mm filters. These fits exactly inside the rubber

sunshade on the Minox lenshood or ND/Skylight filters.

Hoya makes yellow, orange, red, green and yellow-green filters for

B&W photography.

In late 70s, Minox made thirty types of different clip on

filters for Minox 35 camera, ranging from yellow, red, dark red

to orange, purple, green and soft focus filter.

<p> However, because the massive shift of consumer from BW

photography to color photography, the demand for BW filter for

compact camera nose dived, and all BW filters for Minox were

discontinued.

<p> If you look for BW filter for Minox 35, search for

used markets or eBay.

<p> These days, no body makes any filter for compact camera

even top of the line compact.

<p> My Contax T2 does not even have a UV filter

<p> Minox GT-E has a built in filter, this is a great luxury

in compact camera, and it is one of the selling point of GT-E.

The following gadget may fit Minox 35
