Advertisement Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Photoskeptic, Take a look here Filters arrived today. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
AGeoJO Posted May 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2007 I ordered my two filters in November 2006 and received the confirmation/receipt in December 2006. So far, I am still patiently wating although my patience is running thin. I received an update a month ago and supposedly they will be available next week. I am crossing my fingers.....

Guest sirvine Posted May 17, 2007 Share #3 Posted May 17, 2007 Mine arrived yesterday. I ordered in late Feb/early March. I have an extra 46mm now. I think it's black, but I could be mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Mitchell Posted May 17, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2007 Sol, I could use a 46mm black one. If you're interested in a trade or selling it for less than Popflash's price please let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoMammabot Posted May 17, 2007 Share #8 Posted May 17, 2007 I have not even received confirmation of Leica receiving my requests. I have sent in 2 individual requests in Feb and March. I did finally get my 30 percent voucher though!! I'm sure the conf letter will come eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikau Posted May 18, 2007 Share #9 Posted May 18, 2007 Confirmation for two filters (60 and 46) Feb 28. Neither has arrived. I seem to recall reading a thread that said 60s would not ship until May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted May 18, 2007 Matt, they contacted me by email. If it were me I would pursue contacting them again to be certain you are in queue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted May 18, 2007 Share #11 Posted May 18, 2007 I asked for a 46 and a 55 in February. No results as yet. The old man from the Age of Yellow Filters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted May 18, 2007 Interesting note: On the bill of lading it stated the country of origin for the filters was Japan! So much for the explanation that Leica, a small company, was overwhelmed in the production dept. and could not keep up with orders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted May 18, 2007 Share #13 Posted May 18, 2007 Leica never made filters to begin with. It was always vendored to a 3rd party with leica specs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry Posted May 18, 2007 Share #14 Posted May 18, 2007 I've never seen it stated on this forum, or in any communication from Leica, that the IR filters would be manufactured by Leica. It's been speculated that the filters would be made by B+W (Schneider) in Germany, or Hoya in Japan. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted May 18, 2007 Share #15 Posted May 18, 2007 That is correct Larry , not sure if leica made filters in the past but do know the do not now and for some time. There are actually several vendors making these filters under leica specifications and also from the looks of things are distributed by a 3rd party also. Also i would imagine given the heavy time constraints on the vendors to produce filters quickly has hit leica with expensive rush charges. Unfortunetly many folks do not understand what it takes to get a product out the door completely , there is so much involved besides just making the damn filter and the politics that goes on. The process is long and time frame short. That justs adds cost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGeoJO Posted May 18, 2007 Share #16 Posted May 18, 2007 I ended up buying 5 IR cut filters from Tony/Popflash and I hope I can just sell the ones I will be getting from Leice when they get here. I hope I can recoup the money at least partly what I ended up spending. At least, I can go out and shoot without any "IR fears". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted May 18, 2007 Share #17 Posted May 18, 2007 I think there will be no issues with selling extra leica filters at all , folks that have 10 lenses ( shame on me) will always be looking for more than the 2 freebies. i would buy two 49mm right now if anyone had one and i have a extra 39mm black here also.
