Is there a listing somewhere that details all the various filter sizes for Leica lenses? i have Puts' Lens Compendium but no filter sizes! i have a Summitar 50 and the Elmarit 135 (goggled) with no real idea on what filters they need, e.g.IR Cut. Thanks in advance.

Stephen,

 

Your Summitar takes special filters, specific to that lens only. I am not sure what the exact diameter is, I would have to measure it at home, with callipers. The Summitar filter threads are deeply inset and the filter itself has a conical shape.

 

Leitz used to make an adapter for other filters to be used on the Summitar but, without my old Leica 'bibles' I can't be more specific.

 

The 135mm Elmarit came in two filter sizes. Early versions used Series VII drop-in filters with a filter retaining ring, later ones use 55mm ones.

 

Best,

 

Jan
