spylaw4 Posted June 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) So far IIRC, no-one seems to have mentioned that Leica don't produce a 52mm UV filter for the T. Both initial lenses take the same size - fortunately. Is this a glaring omission? (PS Just like they didn't do a 43mm for the XVario.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Hi spylaw4, Take a look here Filters. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rsh Posted June 11, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 11, 2014 B+W or Heliopan are fine if you want German made filters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJW Posted June 11, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 11, 2014 I am using one of the new Cokins that is 52mm and extraordinarily thin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted June 11, 2014 I am well aware of the alternative makes on the market and have a B+W one fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted June 11, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 11, 2014 is there still a need for filters with modern lenses? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaS2 Posted June 11, 2014 Share #6 Posted June 11, 2014 Polarizers are still useful and can't be exactly duplicated in post-processing. Some still like to use a UV filter for "protection". Many might want a ND filter to allow the use of f2 in bright light for limiting DOF. Otherwise at the lowest 125 ISO and a top speed of 4000, I believe you would be shooting at 2.8 rather than 2.0.

jaapv Posted June 11, 2014 Share #7 Posted June 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leica hardly sell any filters nowadays, except UV/IR and Polarizing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted June 12, 2014 They actually sell UVa filters to fit (most of) their products, primarily 39, 46, 49, 55, 60mm. They're quite popular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 13, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) They are rebranded B&W filters as far as I am aware, and the IR filters probably Marumi. In the past they made loads of different filters themselves, including a rather nice graduated yellow filter. I should have written make instead of sell.. Although I cannot recall seeing one in any shop...Top dealers probably stock them. Edited June 13, 2014 by jaapv Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
