Hi All,

   I have been informed that it is not possible to attach a filter to the Summilux 50 Asph and use the built in hood.

Is this true? One of my cameras is a M8.2 and requires the use of a IR filter.

Thanks, Steve

No, not true. Usual filters fit the lens as they are supposed to do.

You are probably confusing with the Black Chrome version. With the standard version there is no problem.

Standard version? Would that be the silver chrome version? Is there a black asph. with built in hood that takes a filter?

Regular version with built-in lens hood is available in black anodized or silver chrome finish. The "limited" version is black chrome and takes E43 filters (instead of E46), but if you use a filter on this one, you cannot attach the clip-on lens hood. No problems with filters on the regular version!
