ryee3 Posted September 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have had difficulty finding a uv filter for my apo-telyt-R 1:3.4/180 serial # 2815XXX The filter ring for the lens is: 14222 VII/VIII. Is this a difficult filter to locate? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a difficult filter to locate? Thanks! You have an 'early' version of the lens which takes Series 7.5 filters. Series filters do not have a thread rather, are held by a retaining ring - in your case the 14222 ring. The later Apo-Telyt versions used 60mm filters which are easier to come by. You may be able to find an adapter from Series 7.5 to 60mm. Use a caliper to measure the 14222's diameter - I don't remember what it was in mm's. Once you have the 14222's adapter mm sizing, look for an adapter which will screw into the Telyt and accept 60mm filters. Careful about getting an adapter for filter sizes larger than 60mm - you will not be able to extend the lens hood. Hope it makes sense.....

ryee3 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks for your reply. I have tried an E60 size filter and it will not fit into the 14222 retainer ring threads. Does anyone know how to obtain such a 7.5 series filter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyp Posted September 25, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2009 I had the same lens which came with the filter ring but no filter. I was lucky enough to locate a used one from a Leica dealer [this was close to 10 years ago]. Contacting independent filter manufacturers [Hoya, B&W, etc] directly may be your best bet if you want a 7.5. I only wanted mine for occasonal use so I wasn't too particular about the condition of my filter. Great lens, have fun with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted September 27, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 27, 2009 You could place a "Wanted" advert in the forum's "Buy and Sell" section. Might be worth having a separate "Wanted " sub-section within the 'Buy and Sell" section? Other fora have this facility. Cheers dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
