Hi, Philip Good luck with the chase, mate! I'm likely attending our 4-monthly Camera Swap Meet here in Perth this Sunday, if I can get up in time that is. So I'll keep an eye open for a suitable filter for you. I can't believe that 1 1/16" or 27mm would have been unique to the Duo. By the way, I'm probably telling you to suck eggs but from when I last used orange and red filters with B & W sky shots back in the 60s, I seem to recall that the red ones needed a huge drop of 3X to compensate.

Hi Phil, there are a couple of ebay sellers in the UK who specialise in vintage/older accessories, although neither list any push fit 27mm filters at the moment. photo-widget has got a few lens hoods, and it might be worth keeping an eye on both sites in case any 27mm filters turn up in the future. I've dealt with both firms in the past, and found them quick & efficient(no connections with either) If you know someone who owns a centre lathe, it's no big deal to machine a 27mm screw fit adapter to fit the Duo, then you can find plenty of normal sized filters, try the Engineering dept of the local technical school, or a model engineering society, for a start.Good Luck, Mike
