[APML]: Aerial lens: What filter/s?



G'day all,
 
I have a 4 element spaced 6" F6 aerial lens but do not know what's brand could be. But it was used in WW2 as a surveillance camera.
 
The 3 questions are; since it has been adapted for 4x5 format and the lenses have been polished and AR coated, I need to know what filter I should use near the film plate (DD slide).  Where is a good source for sheet acetate filters..are they costly?
 
Two, what min. aperture should this type of lens be stopped down to to get optimium results?
 
thanks again fellas,
 
Jim
