Moskva 4

Anybody out there know what the thread size is on the lens? My crude measurements suggest 33,5 to 34mm. I trying to come up with a step ring combination to use my exsisting 52mm filters and lens hood.

I don't know that, but I do know that my Moscow-5 takes a 39.5mm series VI slip-on filter holder. Hope that helps.

I use the Series VI 39.5mm slip-on filter like Nathan on the Moskva 5. The 4 has a similar lens I thought.

I think it's 33.5

I ordered some 33.5 filters from some chap on ebay for my newly acquired Moskva-2. However, the seller seems to have let me down so haven't been able to test it.

Thanks guys: Question? Series VI slip-on holder: who makes it? and where can a person get one? thanks again

Kodak, Tiffen, lots of folks made 'em. Kodak probably defined the 'Series'. You can find them on ebay easily enough. There used to be a local camera shop that had a big box full of retaining rings, old filters, and such. Maybe you can find a place like that. Kodak and Tiffen made good ones, I had a Harrison though that was just awful, wouldn't fit properly no matter what I did.

Now, what you need to know is what metric size fits that thread so you can get an a step up ring to thread into the Series VI filter holder. I THINK it's 43mm, but you check around the web and verify that. If so, then you want to get a 43->49mm adapter so you can use standard 49mm filters, for instance.
