Would Leica 14165 fit the 21mm Summilux?

I know there's an 82mm adapter, but all my filters are 72mm so I'd really like to be able to use 72mm filters with the 21 lux, would the series VIII 14165 filter adapter work with the lens? Has anyone tried?

Series viii filtets can be used inside the original hood, yes.

i have a 67mm female to female adapter on the way to me to try using filters on the 21lux

i already have a 58mm f2f adapter plus a step up ring to use my 82mm filters with the 18mm super elmar

i should have the adapter in the next few days

The 21mm summilux natively accepts series-8 (VIII) filters through its Hood.

How can I adapt a  Nisi filter system on the 24 and 21 Summilux-M?

Thanks so much! I would love to hear your thoughts once you receive it  Especially regarding vignette as that's what I'm most interested about

So i received the 67mm f2f adapter, and it doesnt fit properly on the 21lux, because as you can see in the pictures, #1 18mm super-elmar, #2 21lux, there is a bit offset elevation.

the 67mm diameter is correct though. it seems the front lens would be as exposed as the 18mm lens, was the offset made to protect the front lens a bit more?

i can screw the adapter on the lens but it feels like it wont be healthy for the lens thread over time.

also with the 21mm, there is a light leak at the mount, just like with the 18mm. #3 lower edges, 8min exposure

Thanks so much! Very good to know, looks like I'll have to order the 82mm adapter and get new filters
