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?

[M11 for me]

is it a protection filter you're looking for?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

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).

Thanks for you input. I assume those filters are black right?..I am looking for something in silver

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.

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.

I use a Heliopan digital UV 0 34mm (I mainly use this filter because it fixes the sunshade!).
