Hi, Philip No joy at the Swap-Meet today, I'm afraid. One seller had three 27mm filters, but they were all the threaded type.
Several guys said 'Retina' as soon as I mentioned '27mm push-fit', so I think that might be a better avenue to pursue. A couple of the sellers are guys I know from our local Camera Club, and both thought they 'might' have something appropriate back home. So keep your fingers crossed for our next Cam Club meeting a couple of weeks away, eh?

BTW, my early rising and two-hour round trip to the Swap-Meet were not in vain, as I scored a nice 1949 'Diax Original' 35mm camera and a minty Schneider Componar 1954-ish F4.5 75mm enlarging lens, complete with box ....
