I made a 32mm Slip-fit Lens Hood 3D printing model to fit Voigtländer Vito B and Perkeo II with the Color-Skopar. I plan on publishing them on Creative Commons license once I have tested tolerance.
There a design, one is straight up slip fit, the second one allows the use of 32mm Microscope filters, these are just a 32mm disc of colored glass with no metal around it. I thought about it just because I have it on hand, and seems a perfect fit. They are cheap and readily available, so I don't have to hunt against collectors prices.
I understand these microscope filters comes in varying quality, from plastic disc to multi-hundred dollar research-grade quality and prices. Also they are meant to go between light sources and condenser, and not between subject and objective. But having a set of black and white color filters for under $10 might be worth the trial.
Unfortunately I won't be able to film test currently, so I'll publish it with the caveat it's not film tested, but can anyone think of a reason why it might be a bad idea? I and sure I'm not the first to think of using microscope filters for photography.
