ron110n Posted November 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone, Just bought a used cron-r with no uv filter. What is the filter size of a 1969 Summicron-R 50mm, Wetzlar Edition. The generic front lens cap is 46mm. I just realized the R is a very good lens, being an M shooter. Thanks in advanced. -Ron Edited November 22, 2017 by ron110n Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Hi ron110n, Take a look here Filter size help, Summicron-R 50mm Wetzlar 1969. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
masjah Posted November 22, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 22, 2017 It will be a version 1 which takes a series VI filter, a glass disc held in by a retaining ring. This Forum's Wiki gives further details such as the number of cams from the serial number and the part number of the retaining ring. If you are using it with an EVF and adapter on an M camera the cams are not relevant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron110n Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks for the reply masjah, Is this correct from another forum that it's a 44mm? If so... gee it's as odd-ball as my Noct ver 2. Now a used Leica UV OEM push on-off is more expensive than my lens. Thanks for the reply. Cheers, -Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted November 22, 2017 Share #4 Posted November 22, 2017 Best just to talk in terms of Series VI rather than actual diameter. I think the glass disc (it also has a black ring in which the glass is mounted) is about 41 or 42. You drop this into the front of the lens, then screw on the retaining ring, which is about 44 or 45 I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted November 22, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2017 Is the 14160 offered in the Leicashop Vienna the correct one for this lens? It includes a UV fiter. Jan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted November 22, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 22, 2017 14160 is the ring that screws in for Serie VI filter. This retaining ring has male screw type M44 x 0.75mm. Serie VI UVa filter is 13012. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
