   @vivie Thanks for the appreciation! The filter is a 36mm Push-on type, the original Industar 22 doesn't have a real thread for filters.
   My filter is made by Leitz (it says "Gr. E.Leitz Wetzlar") and I had it for cheap because it missed the retaining screw. I found a screw in my junk box and now I have a working filer :-D
   You should check what lens is attached to your Zorki, because different lenses have different attachment sizes.

   My Zorki has the Industar 22 too.. At the first view it looks like she has a thread, but then I noticed that it isn't a real one like you said ^^

   @vivie You know how to properly extend that lens, don't you?
   It looks like the same lens, so 36mm slip-on (a.k.a. push-on) filters should be fine.

   I'm not really sure. Do i slip on the filter over the first ring or over the second (then i couldn't change the aperture) When i measure 36mm would be the second.. Is that right?
   What do you mean with extend the lens?
   I looked at some google pictures and ebay items.
   I think perfect for me would be a cheap adapter from industar 22/36mm slip on/push on to filter 52mm, because for that I still have a lot of filters. Does something like that exist? and is it affordable?

   @vivie See this about the Industar-22: mattsclassiccameras.com/industar-22.html

   I don't know if adapters exist. Maybe you can tape a foil filter? Then the aperture would become completely inaccessible though.

   too early in the morning to read english xD
   So maybe it has a filter thread 11.5mm? I cant see it exactly.
   I think I will go with my zorki to a store and just try which one fits ^^

   @vivie No, I wanted you to see the lens extended. I don't believe that any filters for 11.5mm exist. Anyway, if you find any, let me know.
