Click to expand... I think they're still pretty thin... I had 2 for my CV 40mm 2.8 Heliar Still nothing modern is as thin as those lovely Canon filters from the 50s 60s

I've got a couple of Pentax and Minolta filters from the same era, and they are amazingly thin -- AND have front filter threads.

Mine too. He usually has the hard to get filter I want and if he does not have it in stock, he will search for one for me.
