I have a 35mm Summilux, from the serial number I believe it was manufactured in '66. Does this lend take a 'standard' filter (by standard I mean one that can be bought in a high street camera shop)? If so what size? I don't really want to re-open the can of worms regarding whether or not a UV filter should or should not be used, but I'm going Island hopping in Greece and Turkey (or should that be island hopping in Greece and bus hopping in Turkey :-) shortly and although I don't usually use a filter I'm feel happier with one for this trip. If a non-standard filter is required and I can't get hold of one in time so be it, the lens (and the M2 it's attached to) is still going on holiday. Incidentally I've been amazed at the quality of images produces by this lens. After years of using an SLR with zoom I was blown away by this detail recorded. Thanks in advance Steve Unsworth
