Hi friends,

I purchased recently a Summilux 1.4/35, manufactured by Leitz Canada. The diameter of the lens appears to be 41mm and was just wondering if you, guys, know if there is an adapter for E39 mm UV/IR filters. Thanks very much for your help.

Stephane, that's the old pre-aspherical Summilux. The filters don't screw diredtly into the lens. The lens hood unscrews into two pieces and the filter fits between the two. You need what is know as a 'Series VII' filter. Foto Huppert in Germany - Willkommen bei Foto Huppert - can order these from B+W, I don't believe they are normally held in stock.

 

I used to have the same model of lens and now wish I'd never sold it.

If you can unscrew the bajonet flange (only the three screws of the bajonet itself; I myself loosened two others, too much, I must send the lens to the CS at last), you can send it to John Milich (jm@milich.com). For $25 he can do machine ressec in the bayonet flange, which you could code like a new 1,4/35
