To bad Guy, I have a spare LEICA 46mm filter (they actually have shipped me 3 three of the 4 I ordered :) . I had to resort to a B+W 49mm UV/IR for my 28mm Elmarit.

Darn thanks Terri, hopefully the stores will get them soon also

 

Guy, the just published Leica FAQ show a schedule for the filters becoming available, or at least, being shipped to registered M8 owners. 49mm is end-April. I've ordered 55/60/67 and they're even further out.

 

I assume you're interested in trying the Leica filter in the WATE adapter to see how it compares with the B+W. It's good we ended up using that filter size because there is no 52mm Leica filter.

I have one coming from a forum member that I will replace. Yes it is for the WATE

 

Love this adapter makes my life wonderful. I took it apart yesterday and painted to match my lens, can't tell the difference . The rest will be anodized but mine is a rare one only collectors item. LOL

 

BTW this is some serious milling that John did, there is certain stops put in and all. really cool stuff

Probably a good idea for the WATE owners. This is the biggest area of cyan cast is in this range of correction.

Solms tells me that E49 filters will be received by them in week 17. (That figures out to be the last week of April.)

 

When or how they determine who gets the first filters is a puzzle to me. I need one too.

It's a puzzle to me too , I have got none that I ordered for my two M8's and I ordered way back when. Ruben I will buy it if you really want to sell it but your in Spain. You decide but might want to hold on to trade someone but send me paypal info and a price and it shall be done if you want

I've ordered one and I don't even have a WATE, yet.

 

Built mine last week after trade with forum member (46 for 49).Now I await my WATE too! When I ordered it(~ 1 month ago I asked if I would get it by August(European trip planned) & was told should be no problem)Now I'm not so sure.Still trying to decide on Leica Frankenfinder vs. Zeiss25/28 I have the 15 Voigtlander already for my CV 12. & can get a 21 CV finder also:rolleyes:

So . . . does anyone have a lead on where I might find a Leica 49mm uv/ir filter?

 

I see 39 and 46mm sizes available on the web but none of the others. According to the Leica corporate homepage FAQ, they should all be available now.

 

BTW I noticed, while on their homepage today, that they have updated the SD list but still do not list Ridata cards; not available in Germany or sold under a different label?
