howiebrou Posted October 14, 2018 Share #1  Posted October 14, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know where i can get a high quality UV filter for my Q in silver? Seems almost none of the major manufacturers have silver ones in this size. Thanks  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

howiebrou Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share #3 Â Posted October 14, 2018 I can't seem to find one. B& H didn't list a silver Leica filter in 49mm?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted October 14, 2018 Share #4 Â Posted October 14, 2018 B&W only listed in black. Amazon 49mm silver ones are cheap brands only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i found. Surely Leica makes a 49mm in silver for their own silver Leica Qs?? What do you other silver Leica Q owners use? Black? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted October 14, 2018 Share #6 Â Posted October 14, 2018 Off topic, but it's ironic that owners of the new VC 50mm 1.2 VM are fitting black filters to avoid problems with the outer reflective silver that Zeiss and Voigt. seem to find necessary trims for their lenses! Black is not such a hardship for the silver Q though . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted October 14, 2018 Share #7  Posted October 14, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) The interior front of the lens is black. I would think a black filter looks fine especially since the hood covers it. Good luck on your pursuit of a silver one. I also would think Leica would make filters in silver. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2leica Posted October 14, 2018 Share #9  Posted October 14, 2018 Leica makes (or made) model #13328 in chrome.  I've only seen it on eBay.  But if you want new then check around the Leica stores.  And they or any other licensed Authorized Dealer might be able to special order one.

Cartaufalous Posted October 15, 2018 Share #10 Â Posted October 15, 2018 Leica no longer makes the #13328 in silver, but they are plentiful and cheap on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/p/Leica-13328-49-mm-Filter/78842397 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLE1945 Posted October 15, 2018 Share #12  Posted October 15, 2018 You really don't want silver. I have a silver Q and have a B&W 49 in Black. If you get a silver you will have a silver outer ring a middle ring in black and then the silver filter ring. Here is mine with the black filter. Welcome, dear visitor!

M11 for me Posted October 16, 2018 Share #17  Posted October 16, 2018 Just for my curiosity: Is the silver filter black inside or silver as well? Can silver inside not cause reflections?  My dealer only sold me black ones. Probably he had no silver ones and wanted to sell filters 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLE1945 Posted December 10, 2018 Share #18  Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) My suggestion is B+W 49MM XS-PRO CLEAR MRC-NANO 007 stock number 66-1066-103. That's what the Leica store recommended and is what I use.  Edited December 10, 2018 by JLE1945 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 11, 2018 Share #19 Â Posted December 11, 2018 The main drawback of many silver filters is that the inside surfaces of the ring are silver as well. That can and will give flare and reflections. If you must use one, paint the inside flat black. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
