antonioxrosa Posted February 10 Share #1 Posted February 10 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am looking for a filter for the summaron 28mm silver. I know about the Marumi filter but it a bit bulky. Anyone know a thin 34mm filter in silver? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M11 for me Posted February 10 Share #2 Posted February 10 is it a protection filter you're looking for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted February 10 Share #3 Posted February 10 I’m in Australia and could not find one for love nor money here. In the end I was fortunate enough to get a Tiffen and a Heliopan as protective UV filters from B&H. Always good to have a spare. I thought if I damage one I’ll need another as backup. I have no affiliation with any brands mentioned. Filter protects - no loss of detail or distortion noticed. Love my Summaron 28. Favourite lens. Renders magical results (to me). A jewel of a lens. Outshines my Q3 Summilux f1.7 in my eyes with full bodied ‘rich’ detail @5.6 and f8 (YMMV). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M11 for me Posted February 10 Share #6 Posted February 10 Just my 2 cents: The Summaron is such a beautiful lens that should be used without any protection filter that just will make that lens ugly. And to be sincere: How many lenses did you scratch in the past? Maybe a finger print from time to time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just about the scratching. When a lens falls nose down on a surface, the filter usually takes the burden and absorbs the impact. That is the main reason I still use filters on ALL my lenses. Saved several of them this way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapbook Posted February 10 Share #8 Posted February 10 (edited) I use a Heliopan digital UV 0 34mm (I mainly use this filter because it fixes the sunshade!). Claus Edited February 10 by Scrapbook Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have done with some old (green- and tungsten-) E39 filters from film time, take the glass out and use it on the front of the lens. Impact resistance, and finger-jab resistance. looking at the pseudo unavailability of E34, it would have been a nice commercial gesture of Leica to include it - there is enough room in the slim box; as it stands it is already the most expensive lens: €2.800 for maybe less than twenty gram finely ground glass. 🤑 Edited March 23 by Alberti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped one lens in 55 years of Leica use - about 4 ft. to a wood floor. No visible damage, but the focus helicoid was tight and uneven. I doubt if a filter would have helped. The repair cost less than filters for all my Leica lenses... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true, the damage totally depends on the drop, and the filter can only help in Nose down falls. Luckily, I have had three of the latter variant.
