No problem, you just need:

- a 39mm UV-IR Leica filter (#13410)
- a Leica hood #12518 dedicated to the 'cron 40/2
- a 37mm rubber ring
- a pin and a die grinder

1. Grind the filter housing of the hood in order to enlarge its inner diameter to 37mm:

2. Remove the blocking ring of the filter with a pin or same:

3. Insert the glass into the filter housing:

4. Insert the rubber ring over the glass:

ICT -- looks like an excellent solution. Thought I might revisit this subject -- anyone know where to find the 37mm rubber ring mentioned?

Cheers,
