This is to add to my previous post since the "edit time" has expired.

If you use the lens on the M8 and want to mount a UV/IR filter you will find there is no filter thread on the lens. However you can get a series 7 filter from B+W which will mount in the 12504 clip on hood. The hood unscrews into two sections to take the filter. As an alternative to the Series 7 filter I've found if you take a 49mm filter (Leica or B+W) and mount it in the hood with the filter thread facing away from the lens you can screw the two parts of the hood together to hold the filter.
