MarkP Posted February 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I ordered a MC B+W Series 8 ND filter 8X (for my 1.4/21 Summilux) direct from the importer and it finally arrived this week after a 6 month wait. He told me that B+W advised him that the company would cease further production of the filter ( assumed due to low demand). He also received a SC Ser 8 ND 8X in the same shipment which I bought as a spare (kindly sold to me at cost). I don't know which other manufacturers are still making Series 8 ND filters so if anyone is thinking about getting one now may be the time.

IkarusJohn Posted February 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 7, 2012 I had a Heliopan 0.9 Series 8 ND filter for my 21/1.4. I could never get it to fit in the hood. Leica confirmed that the hood was the correct size (I was getting a dent removed from the barrel). At one stage, I got the filter half way in - couldn't get the hood on, and the filter split trying to get it back out again (grrrr). I've been waiting for a replacement from Heliopan ever since. Insufficient demand to do another run, apparently. The B+W filter fits perfectly. It's a shame they're discontinuing this line. Choices are very limited now for owners of this lens.
