enboe Posted July 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) As "Q" day approaches, I am producing various accessories I intend to use with the camera. Leica has produced two E49-sized UVa filters, the standard 13328 and the slim 13329, the latter designed for the version 2 of the 28/35/50 Tri-Elmar. The slimmer filter was produced for that lens to preclude any vignetting at the 28mm focal length. Has anyone compared corner vignetting with these two filter types? Is it worth hunting down the 13329 filter, which is out of production? Thank you. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbl Posted July 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2015 I’ve been using a standard B+W 49mm UV MRC filter as well as a Soft Pro and haven’t been seeing any issues. -jbl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted July 26, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2015 I’ve been using a standard B+W 49mm UV MRC filter as well as a Soft Pro and haven’t been seeing any issues. -jbl Ditto. To go off-topic slightly - how on earth is one to use a polarising filter with the all-covering lens hood? The only solution I've come up with is to remove the standard lens hood and substitute one that screws into the filter - not the most attractive setup!

enboe Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted August 1, 2015 OK, the Q arrived, as did the filter. The 13329 goes on very nicely, very low-profile, adding only 2-3mm to the length of the lens. The lens cap fits on without issue. Well, almost without issue. That extra 2-3mm means the 19502 case will not close without being forced. Stupid case design.
