Leica newbie Posted July 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can someone clarify if "third party" (Hoya etc) U/V filters can be used in the 39mm to 55mm range. Or have leica lenses have their own particular threads. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars_bergquist Posted July 22, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2011 Threads are metric and thus standardised. Here are the most important ones (in the correct technical designations, the first number is the thread diameter, the second is the thread pitch): E39: M39.0x0.5mm E46: M46.0x0.75mm E55: M55.0x0.75mm E60: M60.0x0.75mm All self-respecting manufacturers – B+W, Hoya, Heliopan, whoever makes the 'Leica' filters – adhere religiously to the ISO norms. Btw 'E' is an Leica designation, used to distinguish screw-in filters (German Einschraub) from push-on filters (Aufschub).

lct Posted July 23, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 23, 2011 AFAIK: E 39: M 39 x 0.5 E 41: M 41 x 0.5 E 43: M 43 x 0.5 E 46: M 46 x 0.75 E 48: M 48 x 0.75 E 49: M 49 x 0.75 E 55: M 55 x 0.75 E 58: M 58 x 0.75 E 60: M 60 x 0.75 E 67: M 67 x 0.75 E 85: M 85 x 0.75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
