  1. I am looking for a filter for the summaron 28mm silver. I know about the Marumi filter but it a bit bulky. Anyone know a thin 34mm filter in silver?
  2. I'm starting a thread for anyone who would like to create, and share full color images by shooting three black and white photos of the same subject. The technique is called Trichrome Photography, and it was used to create the first color image in 1861. Here's some early examples http://tricrhomephoto.tumblr.com/ Creating a color image from three black and white photographs is done by using a different color filter in front of the lens for each exposer (Red, Green, and Blue.) When those three black and white color records are combined, a full color image is created. Today, the easy way to combine those three black and white color records, is with Photoshop. The highest quality Trichrome images are produced with a tripod, and a still object. However, interesting color effects can occur if there's movement between exposures. This technique can be done on film or digital cameras. As much as I consider myself a film enthusiast, I think the best black and white color records will come from Leica digital Mono cameras. Of course, Leica digital color cameras can be used, however they have a filter in front of the sensor to create color (possibly reducing detail.) Leica mono cameras do not have this filter, therefore possibly increasing the amount of information being recorded. With film cameras, the process is a bit more involved. There's the choice of what black and white film to use (slowest speed possible is best since three images will be layered on top of each other.) Processing of the film, then scanning of the film. Also, layering the three black and white color records together in a program like Photoshop may not be as precise, depending on the quality of the scans. The following link shows examples of Trichrome Photography today https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/trichromes The following link shows a Trichrome created with a M6 http://www.pirate-photo.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?t=820 And a Youtube video on how to stack the three color records into one shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S28OUlavAvg The idea to start this thread came from two books I'm currently reading. "The Dawn of Technicolor 1915-1935," and "Technicolor Movies; The History of Dye Transfer Printing."
  3. Does anyone have experience using ND filters or variable ND filters on their M240, with Voigtländer lenses? Specifically I would like to be able to use a 58 mm filter ( to fit the Heliar 15 v.iii ) and a 49 and 52 mm step up ring with the 58 mm filter for use with the Nokton 50 1.5 and Nokton 35 1.2. Does anyone know if this will work with the stock hoods, or can I not use the hoods? Will the filter fit within the hoods? Trying to not have to buy 3 different size filters. The hood on the 15mm is non removable, but very small. Thanks, Brent PS looking at the Hoya and B+W specifically. The B+W seems quite deep in the variable version, and they're specifying a different front filter thread diameter than the filter size ie 58mm rear threads, 62mm front.
  4. I'm in the process of ordering a APO Leica-R Elmarit 100mm F/2.8. My understanding is it has a filter-size of E 60. What does that mean? Can I get a regular B+W 60mm UV filter or is there a special filter I have to get for this? B&H sells Leica filters that are "E 60" but they're a fortune! If a regular B+W works that would be a great relief. On another related question, this lens was made in 1986, the first year they came out with this particular lens. Should I get a UV lens or a clear lens, given that it was made when FILM was the only medium? What happens if I got a clear filter, would I have a bluish color shift on a Canon 5DSR? Thanks, Bill
  5. Have to say I agree with this excellent article: http://blog.mingthein.com/2016/03/21/to-filter-or-not-to-filter/#more-12270 "The main reason I avoid filters (except for the usage cases above) is because I often do see a difference. Aside from the obvious scenario of shooting into light sources and seeing significant ghosting, the problem is if you’re using an Otus – anything you put on the front of it, Zeiss’ own filters included, will visibly degrade contrast. It seems that the planar filters introduce reflections that simply weren’t an issue previously with the concave front elements of the 55 and 85mm Otuses. The same is generally true of other lenses with concave fronts, too: they tend to maintain higher contrast without filters; probably because there are fewer paths for internal reflection (and thus stray light, flare and reduction in contrast) to take place."
  6. H guys, As mentioned in another thread, I just bought an SL and 24-90. I have always bought a skylight / UV or protective filter for any lens I have ever bought but this is my first Leica and I don't want to interfere with or degrade optical quality. So wanted some advice pls - filter needed or not? Thanks John
  7. Regrettably RG Lewis, a Leica Premier dealership in London has closed its doors after more than 100 years of trading because its proprietor is retiring. I was in Croydon Photo Centre yesterday (formerly called High Street Radio and Photographic), which is a family business owned by 84 year old Reg Roach and has specialised in Leica and Roberts radio products for over 50 years. Reg's son Paul showed me a large amount of Leica accessories (hoods, filters, caps, Visoflexs, adaptors etc) that Len at RG Lewis had passed on to the shop when he shut the doors at RG Lewis. Croydon Photo Centre already offers a wide range of classic Leica goods but Paul told me that it will take some time to load all of the former RG Lewis accessories onto his website. He told me that if anyone is looking for Leica accessories then please contact the shop by email or telephone on the weblink above. Paul's very happy to talk to people over the phone or if you happen to be in the area on a day that the shop is open (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays) then call in for a chat and a rummage. (For full disclosure I have no connection to Croydon Photo Centre or its goods other than to have been a satisfied customer over the years who enjoys the 'days gone by' feel of the shop with shelves stacked high with all sorts of goods and hidden gems and drawers filled with more and staff who know their products well who are happy to spend time talking to you. I have only posted this message as a service to other forum members who may be or may have been looking for a particular for some time.) For those who know Reg he unfortunately fell and broke his hip recently so he's in hospital at the moment but is in constant contact with Paul by phone as I witnessed while Paul was looking for an IROOA for my Rigid Summicron, which he successfully found with Reg's telephonic guidance. Pete.
  8. I would like to purchase some filters for the M10 + Summilux 35 FLE, and I am not sure which are the best in terms of ease of use (screw on with hood, stacking, vignetting). I am about to order these: UV: http://www.leicashop.com/brandnew_de/filter/leica-filter/leica-filter-uva-ii-46mm-schwarz-skul13033.html ND: http://www.leicashop.com/brandnew_de/filter/leica-nd-filter/leica-filter-nd-16x-46mm-schwarz-skul13055.html Polarizer: http://www.leicashop.com/brandnew_de/filter/b-w-pol-filter/b-w-circular-polfilter-ksm-e46mm-mrc-f-pro-skubw82658.html
  9. Hi there, I recently purchased an M6 and plan to shoot black and white film with my 35 Summicron Version 2 8 Element lens. I read that many people use either the orange / yellow filter when it comes to shooting monochrome, I would just like to get your thoughts on which one serves better as an all purpose lens? And how exactly are they different when applied? Thanks! Regards, Jeffrey
  10. Does anybody know why Leica does not produce red filters for the monochrome or B/W film cameras? I know there are yellow, green and orange filters, but no red filter.
  11. Hi all, I recently hit on a Summicron 50mm and bought it. Now I need a ND filter, preferably a variable one, as I'll be shooting open. Could you recommend me one ? I live in Europe and would appreciate if you can also tell me where I can buy it. Sometimes it's hard to find a certain model. Thanks and wish you all a good weekend. N.
  12. I recently bought a seven-lens, two-body kit from an estate. The lenses are all two-cam, and I'm figuring out the filter sizes... most are Series VI, VII, or VIII, but the 50mm is a Summilux-R has thrown me a curve. Looking at the L-Cam Wiki here it indicates that the serial range for this lens (24715xx) puts it right in the middle of the 1971 production run, three-cam lenses (although I see that it lists that there are two-cam variants) that apparently take an E55 filter. As I said previously, it is a two cam lens and came with a 48mm UV haze filter on it. Series VII is too big, and Series VI is too small, so it was obviously not set up for a Series filter... and none of the Series filters are 48mm. Can anyone shed light on what I have here? Is it a unicorn? Are there just gaps in the L-Cam wiki's data? Anyone else have one of these? Thanks!
  13. Hi, I have purchased Summicron M 50mm ASPH brand new. It is with built-in hood.I bought also UV clear filter just for protection of the lens. Unfortunately on some of my latest shots I can see some flares. Any suggestions how to avoid it? I insist on the UV filter, do I have to buy hood for 35mm? I’m surprised that Leica didn’t invent the lens smart enough to work with the filter correctly, meaning w/out need of additional hood.
  14. Hello, please does someone know the effective transmittance/wavelength spectrum of the Leica E49 UV/IR Filter 13412? Looking on the web I did not find a detailed specification of this kind of Leica filter. Thanks in regards BR G.
  15. Auf dem Haltering meines Apo-Telyt-R 180 mm f/3.4 mit der Seriennummer 2.946.347 ist als Filtergrösse VII/VIII vermerkt. Wenn ich auf dem berühmt-berüchtigten Internetmarktplatz nach einem passenden Rotfilter suche finde ich aber nur entweder VII ODER VIII. Als Freund der deutschen Ingenieurskunst kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass beide Gössen passen sollten, denn dann würde VII ja klappern. (Ich habe vor Kurzem eine R-E "Olympische Spiele '92" geerbt und bin gerade dabei den ersten Film zu verknipsen, um sie und die beiden Objektive [Vario Elmar-R 28mm–70 mm f/3.5–4.5 und das APO-TELYT] durchzutesten.) Vielleicht weiss hier ja jemand Rat oder kann mich diesbezüglich aufklären. Danke.
  16. Hello, Suggestions on long exposure photography using the Leica Q 49mm. Heliopan 49mm Variable Gray ND Filter and or, B+W 49mm XS-Pro Digital ND Vario MRC-Nano Filter. Does anyone have experience with either one of these filters, or any other recommendations? Thank you.
  17. Did you need the yellow filter for the clouds? Could similar or same be achieved post? Having specified a Q2M I wonder whether I should be looking out to fit yellow or orange glass in front of all that nice Q2M design?
  18. Hey everyone. I recently got my hands on a summicron 50mm v4 that comes with a 12585 hood. Fantastic lens by the way. But I’m having trouble to use a 39mm thread filter together with the hood. When the filter is threaded on the lens, the hood simply cannot go all the way in, because the filter is blocking the thin edge in the middle of the lens hood, which is narrower than the size of the filter. Does anyone have experience using the 12585 hood with filters? Which ones will work with it? I’m using filters for protection of the glass. thanks! Frank
  19. Hallo an alle Leica (Qualitäts)Nutzer, Kann mir jemand sagen wo man die filtergewinde von den alten Leica objektive nachlesen kann oder kann mir jemand gleich hier antworten? Mir würden die objektive interessieren: Leica Hektor f=13,5 cm 1:4,5 Nr. 982599 Leica Elmar f=9 cm 1:4 Nr. 1082095 Leica Telyt f=20 cm 1:4,5 Nr. 1072779 Vielen dank im voraus Robert Klotz
  20. Excuse my ignorance. I've recently acquired a lux 35mm s/n 3474710 and 12504 hood which clicks on the front. Question - what is the thread at the front of the lens for? I read online that this little beauty doesn't take filters without the 12504 hood, so whats the purpose of the thread?
  21. Just in case somebody needs rare-sized hoods or filters, e.g., for the Summarit 50mm f/1.5, and doesn't mind a third-party item, check out HeavyStar (HeavyStar Photo Gears Home Page). They make a vented metal hood for the Summarit 50mm f/1.5 that would actually stack onto an E43 filter, and supply an E41 to E43 step up ring with it. So I can use 43mm filters between the step up ring and the hood. I've also purchased a 39-43mm step up ring for a Summicron 50mm f/2 Dual Range, so I'll be able to use the same filters and hood with it as with the Summarit. The hood itself comes with a cap, and caps for 43mm lenses are also sold. The prices are reasonable. The hood (incl. step up ring and cap) for the Summarit costs USD 24.88); the step up ring for the Summicron, USD 6.95. The hood and step up rings seem to be aluminum painted flat black. Regards, Richard
  22. Hi, guys. Just wondering about everybody's opinion regarding Leica filters. Are they really worth it? How about other brands - Heliopan? Hoya? Others? Thanks. Rosie
  23. Liebes Forum, ich bin frisch beigetreten , verzeiht mir falls ich meine Frage hier am völlig falschen Ende poste... Ich nutze an meiner Leica M4-P seit kurzem das Voigtländer Color Skopar 50mm F2.5. Allein schon zum Schutz der Linse hätte ich gerne einen Filter drauf, kann mich aber im Dschungel der ganzen M39 Filter nicht wirklich zurecht finden. Was würdet ihr mir empfehlen? UV oder einfach nur Schutzglas? Gibt es vielleicht ein Produkt, das sich besonders bewährt hat? Ich fotografiere meistens auf Fuji Superia X-TRA 400, Ilford HP5 und Ilford XP2. Filterdurchmesser wie oben angedeutet M39. Vielen Dank und herzliche Grüße Fernauslöser
  24. Seit gestern ist die neue Version von Nik lieferbar. Einige neue Filter, verbesserte Bedienung. Eine Demoversion gibt's zum Download auf der Herstellerseite, das Upgrade kostet 99 Euro. Mir gefallen die Filter, obwohl man natürlich alles auch, wenn auch mit mehr Aufwand, in PS5 ohne Nik erstellen kann.
  25. Hi everyone, Got a question about filter sizes and such. Here is a picture of my Elmarit-M 2,8/28mm lens in question, s/n 2977899: After purchasing this lens, I ordered a "series 7" filter for it from B&H Photo. This was the size the seller recommended. Well the filter arrived and there's no threads on it to screw it onto the lens! So that was weird, I've never seen a filter without threads. That one went back the next day obviously. Next, I carefully measured the front element's diameter and selected a 49mm slim B&W UV filter instead. So this new filter arrived yesterday and I took off the rectangular hood (#12536) and screwed the filter in place-- yeah it fit! But uh oh, now the hood won't go on. It was either / or, but not both. Eventually I figured out that if I attached the hood first and forced the filter through the front of it, I could carefully screw it on. Shouldn't there be a better way though? What am I missing? Thanks, Mike
