FrozenInTime Posted September 28, 2014 Share #41 Posted September 28, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I doubt that Leica will make the filters themselves. They will probably rebrand Heliopan, just like Hasselblad did. Which is fine 'cause Heliopan is great. I wonder if they would consider sandwiching the polarizer between yellow glass and a ND yellow ; to save stacking filters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine 'cause Heliopan is great. I don't disagree, but that gives little incentive to buy the Leica branded filters if Heliopan has equivalent filters in the marketplace--I am assuming a Leica premium price. Of course, Leica may add their own twist to the filters in terms of specs. Moreover, color filters aren't always easy to get a hold of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaPassion Posted September 30, 2014 Share #43 Posted September 30, 2014 I've had no problem obtaining color filters through B&H and Adorama in the U.S. Needless to say, I'm not associated with either store. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted September 30, 2014 Share #44 Posted September 30, 2014 Heliopan, B+W, they are equally as good, and equally as good as any Leica branded filter but at a reasonable price. For once EBay is your saviour, great filters are often on sale because people ditch them in going to colour and digital. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted September 30, 2014 Share #45 Posted September 30, 2014 I wonder if they would consider sandwiching the polarizer between yellow glass and a ND yellow ; to save stacking filters. I wish. You might consider Singh-Ray's gold & blue polarizing filter. It is good for B&W and color. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part that is true, but when I was looking for filters 2 years ago, I did have trouble locating some for specific thread sizes. I would be very reluctant to buy used filters because of concerns over condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpeeples Posted January 2, 2015 Share #49 Posted January 2, 2015 Thank you guys, this is a great thread. I am year long M240 user and just bought a used MM at a great price to see what the MM "mystique" is about. I'm used to post processing the color to BW and using the color channels to adjust. This thread answered many of my processing question and using filters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
