Guest camera man Posted September 22, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can I use all the E55 B+W filters on the 90mm APO? Leica say that you cannot use the Leica #13335 Polar Filter due to the rear glass of the filter too close to the front element of the lens. So does this cause a problem for all B+W E55 coloured filters? Leica say " make sure the distance from the rear filter glass surface to the plane circumscribed by the rear rim of the filter mount is at least 1.8mm (5/64"). The Leica Circular polarizing Filter E55 Order no. 13335 cannot be used on this lens". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomas Posted September 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2016 Can't tell for all B+W filter, but I made a test with B+W MRC and Heliopan SH-PMC filters without any trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted September 22, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2016 No issue with B+W filters on APO 90mm. Even problematic Leica polariser 13335 is usable with some lateral thinking - I use spacer created by removing glass from old Hoya skylight filter.

John Black Posted September 28, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2016 Using B+W colored filter on the 90 APO for the Monochrom with no issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest camera man Posted September 28, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 28, 2016 I see Leica have changed the part number for the E55 Polar Filter to 13047. May be you can now use the new polar on the APO 90mm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
