Concerning B+W #495/022 Yellow MRC Basic Filter (39mm). This also applies to the B+W orange, red, and dark red 39mm filters. The following is a review of this filter posted on the B&H Photo website. "I love B&W filters, but this one vignettes on my Leica 35mm f/2 Summicron-ASPH even at f/11. It's not bad and can be fixed in post, but it shouldn't do it at all." Has anyone experienced this? Also, I have heard that some filters may interfere with the screw-on lens cap that is on the latest version 35mm Summicron. And/or what is your favorite 35mm Summicron filter? Thanks, Patrick P.S. I have the M6 reissue and the latest version of the 35mm cron (so far)... Focussing on black and white film stocks. -
Frohes Neues 🙂 (wenn man das jetzt noch sagen kann), nachdem sich zu meinem hübschen 1971er 50-mm-Summicron-R auf der gleichaltrigen Leicaflex SL nun noch ein ebenso hübsches Elmarit-R 135 mm von 1968 gesellt hat, wird es jetzt mal so langsam konkret mit dem Thema Filter. Bekanntlich haben die beiden Objektive ein Filtergewinde für Serie 6 bzw. 7. Da meine umfangreiche Filterkollektion aber schon die Größen E 49, 55, 67 etc. enthält, würde ich da gerne Adapter einsetzen, statt mir noch mehr Filter zuzulegen. Ich suche mir im bekannten Auktionshaus nur einen veritablen Wolf 🙄. Die meisten Adapter sind umgekehrt angelegt: um z.B. ein Serie-7-Filter auf ein 55-mm-Objektivgewinde zu setzen. Hier im Forum fand sich zu diesem Thema leider auch nur ein sehr alter Faden. Gehe ich richtig in der Annahme, daß man auf das 50er (Serie 6) adaptierte 49-mm-Filter setzen kann, auf das 135er (Serie 7) adaptierte 55 mm? Dann könnte ich sehr bequem die eingebaute Gegenlichtblende des 135ers nutzen. Oder lieber beide eine Nummer größer: auf das 50er also 55 mm und auf das 135er 67 mm? Sind euch evtl. Bezugsquellen bekannt? Das einzige, was ich bislang finden konnte, ist dieses Angebot: es sieht für mich so aus, als ob das tatsächlich der passende Ring wäre, um 55-mm-Filter auf das Serie-7-Gewinde des Elmarit zu adaptieren. (Oder doch umgekehrt?? 🙈 ) Merci für jeden guten Tip 🙂. Michael -
When I get my new Noctilux f/.95 in the next few weeks should I get some ND filters so I can use it set to .95 during the day. Most of you say B+W are the best so what values do you think I need?

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.

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!

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. -
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?
