         All of these lenses had a bayonet style mount on front for large 
filters - usually red  or yellow.  You can still buy these filters - 
surplus - at www.surplusshed.com.   They are older ones, some going back to 
the 1950's, but th elast few I bought were still in original packaging, 
never used, and very, very high quality.  Hate to think of th ecost of them 
new.  As surplus, I thibnk i paid on average $10 US each for them, plu 
shipping.
