It is a PC9 - I step up the small filter-thread sizes to

either 37mm or 52mm to fit standard lens accessories

(the 9 has a 30->37mm step-up ring, a UV, and a shade

on it in the picture - though most often the 9 has a

30->37mm, 37->52, a 52mm circular polarizer, and a Nikon

52mm folding rubber shade and lens cap on it...).
