Greetings, I wonder if anyone tried a Pol filter on a D-Lux 109?  

 

Or can you use a Pol filter on the DL 109 lens, would it be recommended?  

 

Any Pol filter could fit the DL?   And the build in filter effects could not do the work as a real Pol filter can, correct?

I use a polarizer on my 109 regularly, it behaves exactly as you would expect it to, cuts reflections, haze and darkens skies, I find it invaluable.

 

I've never really used the built in filters so I can't comment on that.

What kind of a Pol filter (size, made) do you use on your DL 109?  Where can I get one from?   Will it block the use of the original DL 109 lens cover?   or it will not be able to use the "Leica Auto Lens Cap for D-Lux (Typ 109), MFR # 18548" ?

I use a Marumi 43mm polarizer. It works just fine with the original lens cap but it will not work with an automatic cap.

 

I bought it from Amazon.

Thank you!   How did you find the size 43mm?  It is not printed on the DL 109 lens, and not on the "Technical data" PDF...

I believe I Googled it, it was a while ago.

"Marumi 43mm polarizer."   Would it be as good as a BW filter?
