Advertisement Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Hi Erik van Straten, Take a look here 1970 summilux 35/1.4-any good?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest maddoc2003jp Posted September 30, 2008 Share #22 Posted September 30, 2008 This is to add to my previous post since the "edit time" has expired. If you use the lens on the M8 and want to mount a UV/IR filter you will find there is no filter thread on the lens. However you can get a series 7 filter from B+W which will mount in the 12504 clip on hood. The hood unscrews into two sections to take the filter. As an alternative to the Series 7 filter I've found if you take a 49mm filter (Leica or B+W) and mount it in the hood with the filter thread facing away from the lens you can screw the two parts of the hood together to hold the filter. Bob. Does this work with "normal" thick screw-in filters ? I have two E49 filters from Leica (yellow and red) in E49 for use with my Super-Angulon-M and would like to use them with the hood of my 35mm Summilux and also searching for a not to expensive IR filter ...

jimcollum Posted September 30, 2008 Share #23 Posted September 30, 2008 I have one from 1974, and it's one of my favorite lenses.. nice soft glow wide open, and one of the sharpest i have stopped down. These are some random shots from the lens and an M8 shot into the sun wide open Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 30, 2008 Share #24 Posted September 30, 2008 Does this work with "normal" thick screw-in filters ? Yes, I use a B+W 49mm 486 filter with my Summilux/M8. I'd expect a problem with the 'slim' B+W filters as the outside diameter on those is larger than with a standard filter of the same size.

gravastar Posted October 1, 2008 Share #25 Posted October 1, 2008 Yes, I use a B+W 49mm 486 filter with my Summilux/M8. I'd expect a problem with the 'slim' B+W filters as the outside diameter on those is larger than with a standard filter of the same size. Both the standard Leica and B+W filters will fit in the hood if reversed. The Leica filters are a solid fit whereas the B+W ones will rattle after the hood has been screwed together. You can fix this if needed with a small piece of packing material. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 1, 2008 Share #26 Posted October 1, 2008 ...the B+W ones will rattle after the hood has been screwed together. The one in mine doesn't, but I have the filter facing the normal way rather than reversed. I wonder if that makes a difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that makes a difference? With the B+W filter thread facing the lens the two halves of my hood will screw together by less than a quater of a turn. Bob.

stunsworth Posted October 1, 2008 Share #28 Posted October 1, 2008 Bob, I can't remember how far my lens hood turns, and I won't get a chance to find out until Friday. It's certainly a tight fit - probably due to the milling on the filter and the aluminium of the lens hood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tested it last night with one of my silver chrome Leica E49 filters and reversed it fits very well. Now I will look for an IR 76 filter in this size.

stunsworth Posted October 4, 2008 Share #30 Posted October 4, 2008 With the B+W filter thread facing the lens the two halves of my hood will screw together by less than a quater of a turn Hi Bob, I've now had a look at my Summilux. With the filter facing the correct way there's about 80% of a full turn before the two halves of my hood lock. The fit feels very solid so I'll stick with that. You are of course correct in that if the filter is facing towards the 'wrong' way the two halves of the hood screw together completely, but there is a rattle.
