Regarding 43mm filters, you need Leica as all other filters I have seen are too thick and one cannot mount the hood with the filter in place. The solution has been to remove the glass from the Leica mount (easy), cut open the rim of a modern filter like B + W MRC, and mount the glass back in the Leica mount. This gives you a "modern" filter but with the classic Leica look.

I do not use this filter for taking picture,(I am collecting for 42 year), this filter thread on the Summilux 1.4:50 and the original hood slip on to the groove easily.
