Anyone have this or know where theres one for sale.

It is 5.5 circular polarizer and holder part number 13338 for the 280mm f/4 lens. From what I have read you can turn the polarizer with the special holder that comes with it.

I don't know where you can find one, but I can confirm the way it works. It looks like the standard filter that has to be kept in, except that the edge bit that still shows when it's in the lens has an adjustment knob on it (like an edge orientated volume control on a radio, if you see what I mean) that rotates the filter inside.

Hi Jan,

 

look at SH Photo SH photo GmbH

 

I bought one of 5 remaining pieces in March for a very reasonable price. As you might know SH photo are selling out the R system for Leica.

Hi Jan,

 

on the top right of the website, there are flags to choose language. It appears as if you may even choose between British English and American English. :-)

 

The website is less than complete. They have for sure more in stock than displayed thereon. The best is to write them an email. Ever better would be calling them. They are fluent in English.

 

Let me know if you have still problems. I can call them for you on Monday.

 

Kindest regards

Christoph

Tough luck for now - I saw a brand new one at an German dealer's web site for €310 (I think I found it just Googling 13338 and Leica or something like that).

 

Meanwhile I guess you could always manage with an E77 at the front!

Ha I am going to have to go to school and learn Geman. Or maybe see if my Mom can come over and read this for me.

I have a camera store on the west coast calling me. They called the west coast leica rep guy and he said he is sure he can get them one so I expect a second call tommorow.

I never thought that this expensive little filter would be that hard to find in that short a time after they dropped the R line.

Cheers Jan,

Thanks for all the help I will get the page translated and email them also.

Here a brief translation of the essential part of the fotokoch.de add.

 

The yellow arrow indicates that the item may be delivered only if the manufacturer is able to deliver one. By the way, this page has not been updated for a long time. I know this, since I visited this page when I was looking myself for that filter before I was lucky enough to get one at shphoto. So, I assume that they actually do not have one. The seller is from the town were I live and is not known to be a "Leica seller" I would be surprised if they had one. However, send them an email and you will know. Finally, eur310,-- is quite much money...

 

Have you ever asked Meister Camera Berlin? meistercamera.com

 

Regards and good luck

Christoph
