Any Leica 55mm or 60mm IR-cut filters yet?

The confirmation e-mail from the Leica M8 Support team, received here in early December, suggested that I'd have my requested 60mm IR-cut filter sometime in February.

 

Later, the revising e-mail suggested mid-May.

 

Now on 11 June, I have no idea (nor communication) from Leica suggesting any revised date.

 

Anyone receive either a E55 or E60 Leica-branded IR-cut filter yet?

I received a 55 yesterday (11 June) along with a 39. I'm in London UK.

E-mail today from Leica suggests that they'll have E60 filters in stock next week. No admission on their part of any attempt to queue order shipments based on when we first registered a need for these larger size. Slovenly processes here show considerable dis-respect for their longterm customers.

 

On an interior shoot of a home remodel with a designer last night I had to lay my fantastic 21mm Elmarit aside in favor of the lesser 28mm Ultron because of the lack of a 60mm IR-cut filter for the Leica lens. ERRRR - waiting for Solms to fulfill a promise is so frustrating!!! Now they'e only missed their original estimate by FOUR MONTHS.
