antonio-p Posted October 1, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good morning everyone , I'm doing research to understand if Leica has ever produced a 58 mm diameter UV IR filter. I would have to put it on the Telyt 200 F4 and on the Telyt 280 f4.8. I saw that there is the 13422 filter produced by Leica for the Super Elmar 18 ASPH (which has a diameter of 58 mm), but I don't know if this UV IR filter can also be used for the Telyt 200 f4 and the Telyt 280 f4.8. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance for any contributions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted October 1, 2023 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2023 The UV IR filter for the 18mm Super Elmar was a special construction as the lens doesn't have the usual inner filter thread. For a lens which needs 58mm filters with the usual inner thread you might look elsewhere for an UV IR filter: https://bw-filtershop.de/products/basic-486-uv-ir-sperrfilter-mrc?variant=41178556367008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 1, 2023 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2023 There is no reason to use Leica filters - the BW and Heliopan ones are better and cheaper - 58 mm IR filters were never offered by Leica anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to Leitz and Leica, one should never say that something was never offered: Here is the UV IR-filter 13422 for the 18mm Super-Elmar mentioned above by antonio-p: Welcome, dear visitor!

Though as I mentioned above this is a special construction for this lens. The filter has a female thread and it fits on the male thread of the lens usually meant for the hood. You can screw the hood on top of the filter. Therefore it won't fit the normal 58mm thread of other lenses, antonio-p was looking for.

jaapv Posted October 1, 2023 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2023 Yes,as you say Did they ever offer a similar UV filter for the SE 18? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted October 2, 2023 Share #7 Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Antonio, Welcome to the Forum At the time that the 200mm f4 Telyt & the 280mm f4.8 Telyt, Versions I & II were being made: Leitz provided the same SEPARATE UV & IR filters in E 58 size for these versions. There were no combined UV + IR filters in E 58 made by Leitz, for these lenses, at that time. The filters were: UV - 13270 & IR - 13265 Version III (11914) of the 280 f4.8 Telyt takes Series VIII filters. Leitz only lists a UV filter 13018. Other providers may have the IR filter, or a combined UV & IR filter, in Series VIII. If the Series VIII filter retaining ring is missing: The number is 14169 Best Regards, Michael Edited October 2, 2023 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted October 2, 2023 Share #8 Posted October 2, 2023 vor 8 Stunden schrieb Michael Geschlecht: IR - 13265 I believe this was a dark red filter for infra-red photography. It wouldn’t fulfill the purposes of an UV IR-cut filter. vor 11 Stunden schrieb jaapv: Did they ever offer a similar UV filter for the SE 18? No, you have to use an adapter for 77mm Filters, which makes the lens very clumsy. The specially designed UV IR-cut filter was a workaround from the times of the M8. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 2, 2023 Share #9 Posted October 2, 2023 Maybe if I can find the UV IR one I can replace the glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio-p Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share #10 Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Many thanks to everyone, I then discovered that the Leica Filter Series VIII UV/IR 13420 in combination with the Leitz Filter Adapter VIII 14169 can be mounted on the Telyt 280 f4.8. In the end I opted for this solution. This solution is also good for the 200 telyt f4 Edited October 3, 2023 by antonio-p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
