Anyone had any experience with the Leitz polariser for M cameras that
swings across in front of the viewfinder for setting, then back over the
lens for exposure?

It's a crazy-looking device but must be the easiest way to use a
polariser on the M. Only fits 39mm threads (so unfortunately won't fit
my 28mm) but could be used on 35 and 50. Maybe also on 90mm Tele-
Elmarit?

I've seen one advertised for UKP 120, which is a lot for a small
polariser, but it would only have to be bought once.

And if, as I suspect, it's unusual to see a used one, that price would
have to be weighed against the price of a new one.

Any reactions?
