luigi bertolotti Posted November 3, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Surely infos can be found navigating in the forum, but I feel lazy, sorry... I just bought a CV 15 and of course plan to use it on M8 : how to afford the UVIR filter issue ? I have 2 Leicas UVIR : 39 and 46, the latter almost never used and would like to use it someway.. the 39 is permanently fitted to other lenses. Or, anyway, which filter is best to adapt on the 15CV, and rather easy to find ? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carstenw Posted November 3, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 3, 2007 The 39mm B+W filter can be fitted easily inside the stubby lens shade by using a couple of tiny pieces of double-sided tape, or similar. Some people were able to get some o-rings around the threads and push the filter in, but although a kind forum member sent me an o-ring of the correct size, I was never able to push it in far enough.

Photoskeptic Posted November 3, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 3, 2007 Luigi, what carsten said. I'm using the Leica 39 on mine exactly as Carsten describes. Be sure to remove it when using on a film camera or it will vignette severely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwchisholm Posted November 3, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 3, 2007 John Milich makes a nice adapter for the CV 15 and 39 mm filter. I purchased on from him and it works great! Thanks, John! --rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted November 3, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 3, 2007 Hi Luigi, i used the carstenw described method. Chiappati un o-ring de gomma, mettilo attorno al filtro da 39mm e incastralo dentro il paraluce integrato del CV15, funge alla perfezione! e non se ne scappa via! spesa: circa 0,70€ per 10 o-ring! P.S. lava gli o-ring col sapone prima di usarli, spesso sono unti e se toccano le lenti diventa un casino pulirle! ciao Maurizio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gesper Posted November 3, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 3, 2007 Same here. Used a Leica 39mm with piece of gaffer tape on each side and wedged it in. However, to keep the filter from touching the outside lens element, I put a rubber o-ring between lens and filter that gave it a tiny amount of space.

luigi bertolotti Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted November 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK boys, thanks for your infos, and another 39 UVIR to buy... and I'll try the O-ring way (not only for it was an italian like me to advice on ...)

Ronazle Posted November 3, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 3, 2007 Here is what works for me and allows the filter to be seated back w/o touching the lens: Lightly glue (gorilla glue works fine) a retaining ring(the ring which holds the filter in the mount) from a junk Leitz filter to the back of a 39mm filter and allow the glue to set with the filter/ring combination sitting flush against the lens front (metal not glass, of course). The filter may be retained with two small pieces or a full ring of masking tape on the outer rim of the filter. This yields a comfortable friction fit. The IR filter is thus reasonably secure and optically parallel to the lens elements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
