teemulaine Posted August 16, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, Just bought this M3 dual stoke with 5cm Elmar (not in the picture) with decent amount of money. Perfect combination with this first version 50mm Summilux-M Anyhow, does anyone know what's the filter thread size on this 'lux? I'll have to get a yellow or orange filter for it, but don't know if I should get an old filter or does e.g. Hoya make suitable filters... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubice Posted August 17, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2008 Hello, Nice lens! I am surprised than nobody offered help yet - the original Sumilux filter thread is 43x0.5mm. Sometimes also referred to as E43. As to who makes the filters - I am sure a simple Google or ebay search will give you plenty of answers. Original Leitz 43mm filters often show up on eBay.

lars_bergquist Posted August 17, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2008 B+W also make all sorts of 43mm filters. You have to specify M43x0.5mm however, because there is also a M43x0.75mm thread. The old man from the Age of A36 Filters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teemulaine Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks for your help! I had some B+W filters few years ago, bu for some strange reason I couldn't find those after I moved to my new apartment. Well, at least I have my film developing gear and some Rodinal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
