S. Wong Posted July 10, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can any 55mm filter thread work in an E55 filter ring? I ask because I have all series VII lenses, no filters, and would like to use standard 55mm filters (requires step rings), because I don't have the hoods/retaining rings, and step rings are cheap. Can I use E55 leica filters? if I get leica lenses that use E55, can I use standard filters on them? if not, is there a conversion ring between E55 & 55mm? Thank you for your time -Steven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your time -Steven E55 usually refers to the typical 55 mm filter thread. E probably stands for the German term Einschraubfilter (screw in filter). The opposite would be a stack on or Aufsteckfilter. The E basicllay tells you that the 55 screws in. The thread for all 55 mm filter is standardized.

sender Posted July 12, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 12, 2007 The series VII thread is 54mm, so you can buy a 54-55mm adapter ring and use the 55mm filters on series VII lenses - I have done so with success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
