I have Tiffen Series 5. This fits all three prime Switar H8 RX lenses for the H8.

The actual size is listed at a Tiffen page....http://www.tiffen.com/tips_filter_sizes.html

Congrats on getting such a fine camera!!!!!

The screw-in thread size is 32mm.
The following Series 5 adapters are a perfect fit for these lenses:
Ednalite Series 5 adapter ring Number 509, and
Tiffen Series 5 adapter ring Number 538.
