Hello and Happy New Year! My lovely wife gave me a very extravagant gift of a 35 summilux pre asph and a few rolls of Cinestill 800T for Christmas. Now I'm busy trying to find the relevant Series 7 filter that will allow me to shoot tungsten film in daylight and what better place to start than to ask the members here? Thanks in advance!

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

It shows what filter right on the package.

85B @ EI 500

Thanks, Pico, I ought to have been clearer with my question: Is there an 85B Leica series 7 filter (or third party filter)  that will fit into the lens hood 12504?

No idea if Leica / Leitz has ever offered series-7 filters in 85B and / or how difficult it would be to find one on the second hand market.

Fortunately the lens hood 12504 takes also E-49 filters - you just have to insert in with the thread to the object.

My apology!  Good question. I use the same lens and hood. I'll check the maker in a few minutes.

 

EDIT: Mine are Leica brand. No color correction filters. Thanks to mnutzer for his suggestion!

In a pinch,  you can cut a proper size circle from a Lee Polyester or Kodak gel and attach it to inside of UV filter.  I recommend the Lee.  

 

I have done this when needing special size IR filters.   It works really well.

 

Gels can not be touched by hands.  I have saved Lees that were submerged in water.  10,000 time more durable.
