drewleavy Posted January 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rather impulsively purchased this E.Leitz LEICA Swing-Out Polarizer FISUMMI MINT- on eBay (end time 02-Jan-11 14:10:26 GMT). It's a clamp-on FISUMMI polarizing filter. I think it's E39 and I've got a Type IV Summicron-M 50mm. Does anyone know if I've pulled a boner here or got a pretty good deal? Thanks, Drew:confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Hi drewleavy, Take a look here FISUMMI swing-out polarizer on Type IV Summicron-M 50mm?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
giordano Posted January 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2011 If it's a clamp-on it's A42 (the outside diameter of the rim of the lens) not E39 (the OD of the thread on the filter). It'll work fine with any 50mm or longer lens that takes E39 filters, and I seem to remember using mine on a 35mm f/2 Canon lens without any vignetting.

I feel a little more confident with my button-clicking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted January 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2011 If by Type IV you mean the latest version with the integral lens shade, I don't believe that polarizer will fit because the shade retracts flush with the front of the lens and is larger than 42mm in diameter. If it's the version with the clip-on shade and focus tab, then the pola will fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewleavy Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted January 2, 2011 It is the version with the clip-on hood. Sounds like we are good to go. Thanks again! Drew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
