lct Posted June 8, 2015 Share #21 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) AFAIK Leica used to sell the following E43 filters including the latest 13417 UV/IR that was made for the M8 and is still available new at some dealers: - 13161 (M43 x 0.5) Yellow - 13171 (M43 x 0.5) Yellow-Green - 13173 (M43 x 0.5) Blue - 13176 (M43 x 0.5) Orange - 13191 (M43 x 0.5) Red - 13196 (M43 x 0.5) Infra-Red - 13206 (M43 x 0.5) UVa - 13417 (M43 x 0.75) UV/IR The only M43 x 0.75 Leica filter is thus the 13417 that fits the LHSA 50/1.4 asph with its 12586 hood if i'm not mistaken. The OP could replace its UV/IR glass by an Uva if he doesn't like the reddish tint of the former. The 13417 is a silver only filter though. Another solution would be for Leica to sell new 13206-like filters with 0.75 thread pitch instead of the 0.5 pitch available in the past.

Advertisement Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Hi lct, Take a look here Hood fitting problem with 50mm SX black chrome (11688). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rsh Posted June 8, 2015 Share #22 Posted June 8, 2015 You could purchase a 43 mm screw in hood and screw it into the filter. That would save wear and tear on the Leica hood and lens body. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 9, 2015 Share #23 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) You could purchase a 43 mm screw in hood and screw it into the filter. That would save wear and tear on the Leica hood and lens body. I don't have one with me here but Leica or Leitz E43 filters have no female filter thread if memory serves such that it would not be possible to screw anything into them but i may be wrong. As for Schneider (B+W) and other non-Leica E43 filters, they don't fit the 12586 hood i believe but again i may be mistaken. I would ask on the Leica Collectors & Historica forum to be sure. Now such non-Leica filters would fit non-Leica screw-in hoods if the formers have a female filter thread normally.

Winedemonium Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share #24 Posted June 9, 2015 You could purchase a 43 mm screw in hood and screw it into the filter. That would save wear and tear on the Leica hood and lens body. A good practical solution, thank you. --at least for the interim anyway. My existing 43mm filter (modern Zeiss T* UVa), has a female thread. So a cheap light plastic screw in hood would be just fine, and only about $10 or $20.

coelacanth Posted June 11, 2015 Share #25 Posted June 11, 2015 So the black E43 Leica filter I got didn't work (wrong thread pitch). I've sent an email to Mark at tech department at Leica NJ and got a reply saying The 50mm lens accepts 43mm filters, and allows the hood to be used at the same time. Leica does not offer a selection of filters in this size but quality filters are available from professional camera retailers. Good brands include B+W and Heliopan. which is, as we know now, not true. I've sent him a reply citing this thread. I don't know if there is anything they can do right now, but I hope one day they decide to re-release the correct filter, or remove the rib from the hood so regular filters can be used.

rsh Posted June 11, 2015 Share #26 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Another option might be a Series VI filter that you could drop in through the front of the lens shade and it could be held in place by the ridge in the lens shade and the metal thing a ma jiggles. Worth a try as the diameter of the opening is just about the same size - 1 3/4 Inches. Series VI/6 1 5/8 41.3 1 3/4 44.0 30.5-42 Edited June 11, 2015 by rsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkThailand Posted June 19, 2015 Share #27 Posted June 19, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does the 35 Summicron Black Chrome (11689) also have this issue of not being able to use filters and the supplied hood at the same time?

honrts Posted June 19, 2015 Share #28 Posted June 19, 2015 Hi Mark. The Summicron 35mm 11689 has not this issue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMF Posted July 13, 2015 Share #29 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Well I have to report that the B+W MRC Nano X5-Pro UV 43mm filter I just received does NOT allow the hood to fit -- although it is not as thick as other 43mm filters -- it is the same diameter at the front of the lens. Dang. Really need to find a filter just slightly smaller than the front of the lens with the .75 thread pitch. I know some people don't use lens hoods, but I prefer them -- and filters too. If only Leica would have made the front diameter of the housing just slightly larger than the diameter of their filter (like with the 35 Summicron) OR made a filter just slightly smaller like the early days of the 50 Summilux. Not sure what their thought process was. The search continues... Since I have the same B+W MRC Nano XS-Pro Digital UV 43mm filter and also noticed the problem with the original hood supplied with the 50 lux asph e43, I tried the 12586 hood and it works fine, not likely to snap off so easily. Tried a XOOIM also but it will not stay securely in position. Tried a screw in 43 mm vented hood from Heavystar , it vignets slightly (shows as a stronger fall-off @f1.4). My 2 centavos, JM.

jmui852 Posted August 10, 2015 Share #30 Posted August 10, 2015 anyone has a solution to this problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 10, 2015 Share #31 Posted August 10, 2015 Same as above. Order a 13417 filter and use it as is if you want to protect your pics agains IR (recommended). Otherwise replace the glass by that of an UVa filter (e.g. Leica 13206). Welcome, dear visitor!

jmui852 Posted August 10, 2015 Share #32 Posted August 10, 2015 but this only comes in silver? doesnt really match the color..? and once this has been applied the hood wouldnt fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 10, 2015 Share #33 Posted August 10, 2015 The hood should fit when the 13417 filter is on but the latter does not exist in black version so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmui852 Posted August 10, 2015 Share #34 Posted August 10, 2015 ya it will look really weird if a black lens has a silver filter... anyone of you dont bother using a filter at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 10, 2015 Share #35 Posted August 10, 2015 In most cases an UVa filter is useless when the hood is on as the latter provides a mechanical protection. There are exceptions though if the lens is at risk to receive sand and/or water projections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted August 10, 2015 Share #36 Posted August 10, 2015 Or UV Rays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 10, 2015 Share #37 Posted August 10, 2015 Or UV Rays. Yes if one shoots on the top of high mountains i guess but otherwise Leica lenses are UV filtered since the sixties at least so there is no need for UV filters from this viewpoint Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmui852 Posted August 11, 2015 Share #38 Posted August 11, 2015 but without a filter would the dust get inside the lens easily? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted August 11, 2015 Share #39 Posted August 11, 2015 Dust will not normally travel through the glass. The most likely route is underneath the aperture ring or via the focusing mechanism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 11, 2015 Share #40 Posted August 11, 2015 You may prefer using a filter if you're living or traveling in dusty environments but in such a case the silver color of the filter will be hidden by the hood for the most part. Another solution could be to find out a copy of the superb 50/1.4 asph LHSA which exists in silver as well... Welcome, dear visitor!
