Voigtländer LF lenses (at least post-WWII) were built for slip-on filters not for threaded ones. The visible threads are for the retaining rings; if a threaded filter like a series filter fits, that is by accident. The slip on filter diameter for the 150mm Apo-Lanthar was 42mm.

The thread filter size should be 40mm. I use a 40-49mm adaptor so that I can use the normal 49mm filters.
