KONICA III- - What size filters does it take?

[ReginaldSMith]

I don't see the answer in the manual, and I don't have a MM caliper with me. It looks like 34mm by converting my inch measurement to millimeters. Can anyone confirn 34mm?

Thank you Helios.

Thank you Helios.

My pleasure. If you are looking for Konica accessories, look for Konifilter & Konihood (The size of the push-on cap/hood is 36.5mm I believe).

I use B+W filters 35.5mm and a nice rectangular metal lens hood by Ihaggee (screw-in 35.5mm).
I also have a B+W push-on hood and a push-on cap by Heliopan (not in the photo) - both have 37mm.

Beautiful camera, I just these types of rangefinders.
Am I alone who think that square/rectangular hoods look better?

macfred - That's a beautiful rig! I did start looking for these accessories and (gulped) a bit when I say a lens cap for $40! I didn't however know the terms Konifilter and Konihood. Thanks! I will get to searching!

A great camera to use, the cocking system is a delight, shutter release is sweet, large rangefinder window & bright, incredible lens. What's not to love? Original KONIHOOD and its leather case with a 35.5 mm filter on the lens.

I am the "custodian" of a Konica IIIa - camera in Excellent + condition, ever ready case pretty rough! Check with Tim at filterfind.net. He has an excellent assortment of filters, hoods,etc, and the chops to find stuff. Example: I have a Zeiss Icon Contessa, the lovely folder. Its 2.8 Tessar has external threads for filters! Tim found a Series adapter, plus a nice little case for the adapter and a few filters!
