Probably the thinnest ultra slim lens filters in the world
Al Brown posted a topic in Leica M Lenses
While browsing several neighborhood community forums I have stumbled upon what I consider the thinnest (1.2mm) lens filters I have ever seen. They are called "eins SUPER PROTECT FILTER" from their UNX-9000 series* and apparently sport the German SCHOTT glass. Super hard to get, these brutally thin filters are a perfect match for any lens that does not command an additional thread in front. I use one on the Steel Rim reissue (46mm, model UNX-9625)**, see photos attached. Regarding the thickness, B+W filters (XSP line) and Cokin (Pure Harmonie line) that were considered the thinnest out there are about 3mm in comparison, more than double the size of eins. The package comes with a round rubber pad that is used to friction tighten the filter's threadless front. The price is around 21 euros (3300 Yen), some nasty scumbag scalpers can charge triple on eBay. Yodobashi and Amazon.jp stock them sometimes but hardly any other major camera store. *I am in no way whatsoever related or sponsored by this company. **NO included lens hood fits the new Steel Rim with this filter attached despite its ultra thin size.
