A prime reason Leica lenses are so small is they don't stick themselves with arbitrary filter sizes (like all of them being 49mm).m That way they keep the size of the lenses to the absolute smallest they can. Actually, quite a few Leica lenses use the 60mm size, though, so it's not that rare among friends. And if I were a color photographer who is using gels, I'd be using the Sinar (or Calumet which looks the same) filter system. Then you only have one set of filters with a holder that adapts to different size lenses. But I'd also be shooting with Leica R in those situations. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Maniac: An early computer built by nuts...
