V_kids Posted May 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone please advise me, which UV filter to get? the local camera shop, recommended me to get Leica Series VII for M 24mm f/1.4 (13421) is it the correct one? because If i'm not wrong this is a UV-IR filter, which should be use for Leica M8 only (i'm using Leica M9) So should i buy it? is it OK to use it for Leica M9 ? thank you Andree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richfx Posted May 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2010 Andree: You're correct - Leica's 13421 is a UV/IR filter and should not be used on the M9. Any UV only filter can be used. Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmobile Posted May 17, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2010 Yes, a B&W series 7 filter will be just the ticket. I got a yellow one buit stupidly forgot to get a UV while I was at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 17, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 17, 2010 I would recommend the B&W 007 filter instead of the UV filter. The UV filtering is not needed on this lens, and the 007 is specifically for protection - more scratch- resisitant, tougher and thinner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmobile Posted May 17, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 17, 2010 Cheers Jaap. Did not even know such a filter existed. I'll see if B&H has it listed. Just done some reasearch and it seems these super slim protections filters are not available as Series 7 filters. looks like one has a choice of skylight or UV only.

richfx Posted May 17, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) The B&W 007 MRC (clear multi-resistant coating) is the one I use on all my lenses with the M9. Unfortunately, no one seems to stock them in the States. It took appr. six weeks to get them through Adorama. Good luck. Rich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
