The swing-out Polfilter, including a lens hood,ref: 13 352, for A 42  (=
lenses who accept E 39  **)is still available in the last 1996/97 Leica
handbook (09/96).

** The Polfilter A42 don't work on the last 50mm summicron because of the
lens hood, and don't use it on the 21mm /4.

The 13 352 is very usefull on the 35mm/2 (present), 50mm/2 (before 94),
50mm/2,8 (present), 90mm Tele-Elmarit M (before 92) and 135mm/4 (before
94).
