I think the filter size is 35.5mm Don't quote me. Should be easy to measure.

Walz made a set of 5 for this camera back in the day. They turn up on eBay from time to time. I may ackshually have one, I'll do a search and report back. That 35.5mm figure doesn't sound right to me, but I don't have any certainty about it.

The Konica Pearl III uses 30.5mm filters. These are common due to the usage on contax and rollei compacts.
However, a regular depth filter may not allow the camera to close. You can still use it, just remember to remove before closing.
The original is super slim.

Walz did make filters for this camera, but it is hard to identify them because they were not labeled '30.5'. The clear UV filter is labeled '39.3' in various sizes.
The 'for konica 2.8 and pearl' kit from walz does NOT fit. That is for the original pearl.

Sorry to disappear on you. I couldn't find my Pearl filter set, and given what darinwc said it may not have mattered-- I think it was a set for the Pearl I.
