The same lens was also available under the Rokkor name, as it dates back to 1970s', when Leica co-operated with Minolta. Both the Elmar-C and the Rokkor-C were made for the Leica CL and Minolta CL. The 90mm Elmar-C and the Rokkor-C were identical optically and both were made in Germany. The Rokkor-C version uses more common 40.5mm filters.

The filters are normally in the Heliopan catalogue and can be ordered at the factory and Heliopan dealers.
