delbecco Posted May 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just received my two free filters from Leica. Unfortunately I got a 49mm (13412) instead of a 46mm (13418) which would fit my 35mm Summilux. This was possibly my fault although I don't remember exactly what I ordered (it has been a while). Has anyone experience with swapping? My filters were mailed from Germany but is there a more direct source? Or is anyone interested in an exchange? The 49mm fits 135mm, 75mm teles and the 28-35-50 TriElmars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carstenw Posted May 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2007 Getting a 46mm for 49mm should be no problem, but try posting in the Leica M8 forum instead of the general digital forum. There is a link near the top left... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.4/75= 60 , TE long =55 (1st version) 4.0/135 older version=39 Does anyone know if the later Tri-Elmar (focus tab, depth of field scales) needs the slim 49mm if you are going to use the lens hood with it? At the moment I have the older version but am hoping to change it as soon as a new supply of the later coded version becomes available again in the UK. Bob.

You do know that there is no optical difference between the first and second version, Bob? It is a bit expensive way to code your lens. Afaik there is no Leica lens that needs a slim filter.

howard_cummer Posted May 14, 2007 Share #8 Posted May 14, 2007 Bob, The Tri Elmar (second version) took a special thin UV filter supposedly to eliminate vignetting. However, I am using a Leica IR cut filter in 46mm size using a 49>46 step down filter ring on my Tri Elmar and I am not getting any vignetting - so I don't think it is an issue.

Cheers Howard Thanks Howard, I had a suspicion that was the case. If I have a problem I can always remove the glass and grind down the front of the filter mount. Bob.

harmsr Posted May 14, 2007 Share #10 Posted May 14, 2007 Leica did have a unique slim UV filter for the newer 28-35-50 TriElmar. However considering that the UV/IR filter is for use on the 1.33 crop M8, no slim filter is needed. The standard Leica 49 UV/IR filter works just fine on my TriElmar and M8.

terence fairweather Posted May 14, 2007 Share #12 Posted May 14, 2007 Delbecco, I ordered the wrong size filter too. I emailed Leica cutomer service who advised me to return it and state which size I would like in return. That was one week agoI have`nt recieved it yet.

lensblur Posted May 14, 2007 Share #13 Posted May 14, 2007 I happened to get the Leica filter converter for WATE filter to 67mm. Right now I put E67 UV on it. Could anyone help suggest which filter I should use for size E67, as I can't get hold of any E67 UV/IR filter yet. Does Leica indicate when they will ship E67 UV/IR? Given the shape of the converter, did Leica design it so that it acts as a lens shade as well? Thanks, VB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tummydoc Posted May 14, 2007 Share #17 Posted May 14, 2007 The 135mm f3.4 tele, Leica 11889 takes a 49mm filter. Also the 75mm Summicron, Leica 11637, takes a 49mm filter Also the 3rd-generation 28mm Elmarit and the early version of the pre-APO 90 Summicron (the one where the lens shade retracts over the aperture scale), along with the first version of the 21mm Elmarit (which did not go into production but several examples of the prototype have surfaced through the years). The second-generation 28-35-50 Tri-Elmar functions perfectly well (no vignetting) with a standard-mount B+W filter on full-frame film bodies so would be fine on an M8. Lenses accepting 52mm filters such as the C/V 35mm f/1.2 and 50mm f/1.5, as well as the vintage 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor (in LTM) would more than likely work on the M8 with 52-49mm stepping and their hoods attached.
