stephengilbert Posted January 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2008 http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/members/jlm.html As I recall, the 15mm filter adapter uses a 39mm filter. I don't know about the 12. There was a recent thread about vignetting on the 12, however, and many people are using the lens unfiltered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are to add coding to CV screw mount lenses but he does also make a front of lens filter adaptor for the WATE that allows the hood to be used too. If you want to add front of lens filters to the CV15 the best way is to cut a thin (3mm) but very long piece of sellotape about a foot long and wind it round the filter mount on a 39mm filter about three times. It will then fit snugly in without coming loose. Mine has been in for a year with no disasters, and I have to take it out for use on my MP otherwise it vigs like a tunnel!

farnz Posted January 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 29, 2008 Rich, To add to Tim's post, remember to turn the filter wrong way round before inserting or you risk the filter coming into contact with the front element. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlm Posted January 30, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 30, 2008 jm@milich.com re. the 12mm: it uses a standard 55mm UV/IR filter which screws into the adapter; it can only go on one way...there is no vignetting. the adapter also has a hood section that screws onto the filter. no danger of the filterglass contacting the lens glass re. the 15mm: it uses a standard 39mm filter which screws into the adapter/hood unit. ther have been some instances of vignetting as the hood is a bit too efficient. it is being corrected and exiting units can be sent back for modification (no charge). no danger of glass to glass contact the WATE adapter uses the glass only from a 49mm filter. jm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
