Hood fitting problem with 50mm SX black chrome (11688)

I have a black paint 50 Summilux LHSA and the 13206 filter seems to fit fine. Not sure if it is the same as the black chrome 50 Summilux.

That's interesting. I would have thought that the lens barrel and hood design is identical between these special editions.

 

I came quite close to buying this lens as the example I tried had a lovely smooth focussing action (which my standard version of the lens bought in 2005 never had, even after many years of use) but the hassle with the hood and filters was a factor in my choosing not to buy. That and insufficient appetite for spending £3000 on new kit. ;-)

Could it be the hood recess is the only difference? Or the hood itself?

Hello,

 

Did anybody try the filter

ZEISS Filtre UV T* 43mm?

It seems to have a thin metallic ring.

Many thanks in advance.

I use Zeiss UV T* 49mm on my Zeiss-Sony FE 35 f/2.8 lens (on Sony A7R II body). Filter made in Japan, good quality, but Heliopan SH-PMC UV is even thinnest.

Hello,

 

I have just tried the BW nano E43 filter on the summilux 35 FLE Black Chrome, and its diameter is too wide to allow to use it together with the sunshade.

So it does not work, although the filter fits nicely on the lens....

 

Lets wait for Leica to provide a new E43 UV filter for this lens and its hood.

 

Best regards.

Hello Sir,

 

You are correct, the filter 13206 does not work on the summilux 50 1.4 black Chrome E43 (latest release).

You can not screw it on the lens, and even if you could, its diameter is too wide to use it together with the sunshade.

I am going to use this lens without any filter...

 

Best regards.

 

Dominique

Just bought the Cokin Ultra Slim Filter, hope to fix the hood problem.
