Default Polarizing filter on the VE R 35-70mm

See this thread on this Forum:Adapter ring (60mm) for VER 35-70mm lens.

Any one with on-hand experience how and what type filter other then Leica can be used on this lens.
Thanks.

Cool Re: Polarizing filter on the VE R 35-70mm

Yes, the Heliopan #706039 will fit and work flowlessly on this lens with the Heliopan #701060 60MM rubber lens hood. The lens hood is vignetting at the near end but since it can be folded back the vignetting can be easly corrected. By mistake I did order the linear polarizer (it is about $30 less then the circular) but it will work fine on the entire range.

Default Re: Polarizing filter on the VE R 35-70mm

I just found out that linear polarizing filter will not work correctly on R bodies. It will polarizes great but the light meter will not respond properly, so I am exchanging for the Helio circular polarizer # 706041.
