jbl Posted April 20, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted April 20, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) What is the reason for the 60->82mm filter conversion ring for the Noctilux? The lens takes E60 filters. Why would you one to use an 82mm? Â -jbl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamiji Posted April 20, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted April 20, 2014 For polarizers, on pre-LV M's, or anytime you wish to use polarizer using the rangefinder, even on a LV M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

algrove Posted April 23, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe I have missed something, but why not use a 60 to 67 or 60 to 77 setup rings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillbeers15 Posted April 23, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted April 23, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know for a fact that there is a Series VIII to 82mm adapter made by Leica. Which applies for the 21mm Lux. So the 60mm to 82mm adapter makes one only have to stock up a set of standard filters and the additional window allows the RF patch to view the filter effect.

Dougg Posted April 23, 2014 Share #8 Â Posted April 23, 2014 Further, for what it's worth, some S/S2 lenses use 82mm filters... the 70 and 35 certainly, probably others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted April 23, 2014 Share #9 Â Posted April 23, 2014 For those of us not using S cameras, why not use a smaller step up ring? Only for the RF view? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted April 26, 2014 Share #10 Â Posted April 26, 2014 Maybe I have missed something, but why not use a 60 to 67 or 60 to 77 setup rings? Â Â You can, and I have, but the extra space gives better tuning of the polarizer. Especially if you put it on the final version of the f/1...

algrove Posted April 28, 2014 Share #11 Â Posted April 28, 2014 I see your point, but I just took out my f1.0 and something that large in diameter can block the RF more than ever before. So this means an M240 with EVF I guess. Of course the tiny lens hood on the f1.0 is useless with any polarizer size IMHO. Â Large polarizers can cost a lot more, but then again 60mm seems to be less popular than say a 62mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted April 29, 2014 Share #12 Â Posted April 29, 2014 Remember that the 60/82 adapter is vented. So it does not "block" the viewfinder, it allows greater polarized view. Of course it predates the M240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillbeers15 Posted April 29, 2014 Share #13 Â Posted April 29, 2014 The 'vents' cause light leakage problem when I try to use Variable ND filters on my 21mm Lux. Â I need to figure out a way to block out the vents from leaking light! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted April 29, 2014 Share #14 Â Posted April 29, 2014 I had that problem with the M8 and the adapter for the WATE. I have not had that problem with the M9/M/240. Â The solution was to block the vents with a card inside the adapter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
