Probably the thinnest ultra slim lens filters in the world

Using ultra thin filters make a lot of sense with tiny lenses like an Elmar-M 50mm or those tiny and slowish Voigtländer. 

I bought a bunch of EINS filter from Japan, but having them sent to Europe and with import duties it is a very costly few millimeters you're saving.

I liked the pure harmonie filters from cokin, but they are discontinued and truely gone now, I tried all over the world do source them.  Stupid me I managed to loose a filter pouch with 5 or 6 of them

Maybe you could explain why using them on the two lenses you mention makes a lot of sense?

Because it adds just a hair to the size of the lens but still offers protection.

Technically brings nothing extra , no functionality such as enabling the use of a hood that would otherwise be compromised… or less vignetting… 

But I do understand a personal taste, such as using never-ready cases…

Hi Folks!

First post, so do be gentle

I was interesting in picking up a few of these filters for when I'm pairing my lenses with my m10p. After struggling to find them in stock anywhere I eventually reached out to UN directly and they were very helpful. Sano-San dealt with my order, shipped them out pretty quickly, and they arrived today. I've not had much chance to test them out in anger as it were.. but the fit is very satisfying.

I use the EINS 39mm on my M 50 f2 Summicron Rigid because the lens cap will not stay on if I used regular thickness filter, such as Leica E39  UVa ll. The other is E43 on the M 50mm Summilux with external lens hood.
