jlancasterd Posted July 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've just ordered a 65mm Elmar and 16464 mount to go with a Visoflex 3 that I acquired a couple of months ago. I'm assuming that I will need to use an IR-cut filter with this lens to ensure true colour fidelity when it is mounted on my M8 (I'm hoping to use it for flower close-ups amongst other things). however, I see that, in true Leitz/Leica tradition, it has a non-standard 41mm filter thread - AFAIK this is shared only with the long-departed Summarit 50/1.5. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a work-around using another filter size - or is it a candidate for a Milich special? Ideally I'd like to be able to mount a lens hood in front of the filter. I knew I'd regret selling my M2 with its Summarit, UV filter and rectangular hood all those years ago... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted July 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2007 John maybe a step up ring to 43 or 49mm than get a screw in hood for it. Check B&h for a step up ring. Actually I will look too. 41mm could be tough though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted July 13, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2007 Glad i could help . On the hood though might not need the wide angle one and since there only 10 dollars or so you might squeeze by with a normal 49mm , it may cover better. i would get both and see what works the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
