Dr. T. has already covered the Realist situation.  I was lucky enough to
acquire a set of the sunshade/filter holders with my first Realist, and
a pair of Chrome Haze filters also, so they do get used.  I've also got
a partial set of the push-on filters, which I haven't used and probably
never will (the only complete pair is for using tungsten-balanced film
in daylight).

I've been trying to find pairs of Series V filters in usable condition,
and haven't had much luck.  They are apparently not being made anymore,
so you must find them used, or if you're lucky, as new/old stock.

Even at one of the bigger camera swaps here in the S.F. Bay Area, where
there were vendors with boxes and boxes of filters, I was only able to
locate a couple of usable Series V filters.
