I had Leica USA convert the 60mm to E55 filter thread a year or so later. I have to say, these lenses are the reason I continued with Leica. All three are true Leica quality lenses. The 35/2 Summicron is a wonderful lens and I would not ever get rid of it. I wouldn't trade it for an ASPH model if they made it. I surely would not trade it for the 35/1.4 R lens.
