Default Cicular Polarizer Question

I will most likely be purchasing the V Lux 1 when it arrives in Oz. I am suspecting I may need a circular polarizer due to our bright/glary conditions down here. A few questions since I have never used one before.

A. Will it be possible to get one from Leica that will fit the V Lux 1

B. Do polarizers come with their own lens cap, and if so do those caps usually have a means by which you can thread it onto to camera body for ease of use. ie: take the cap off and just let it dangle until you have finished your shooting.

If someone can help here I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,
Paul.

Thanks for that Jim. Is the first one mentioned also a circular polarizer? The Uva Black.
Regs,

As you are interested in polarizing filters you may find this thread useful, particularly LADP's posting:
