Hello all, about a year ago Zeiss introduced a color shift compensation filter (CSC Filter) to "obtain ideal results with the use of their ZM lenses with digital viewfinder systems". They go on to explain the dual function ( IR blocking and color correction of the green edges). Has anyone used this filter? My interest is for use with my one Zeiss lens, the f:\4.5 C-Biogon 21mm. ron

I have never heard of anyone using it -- I did not even know that it exists. I cannot remember having seen it on the Zeiss site. Everybody I know about, including me, are using common B+W 486 filters, which work just fine with the correct coding of the lenses. Mine are 18mm Distagon (coded as a WATE) and 25mm Biogon (as 24mm Elmarit).

Lars, Until today, I had never heard of it. I'm trying to solve a self-coding problem; my later M-8 (s/n 333xxx) will not recognize my self-coding. My earlier M-8 has no trouble whatsoever (both are on firmware 2.004) The newer M-8 has no trouble with any other (i.e., factory coded/Milich coded) lens. If no one gives me a knowing answer, I'll probably buy it and advise all how it works. It is not cheap ($205 for 46mm). Thanks for the response. ron

The filter is not listed on their site.

Lars, Believe me, they sell it. My sense of humor does not extend to misinformation. For reasons unknown to me, they list it as a spare part. Below are the numbers:

 

46mm 1584-872

58mm 1584-873

72mm 1585-068

 

The U.S. Zeiss organization does not currently list them, but will shortly. In any event, hope the above id helps. regards, ron
