Subject: [Leica] B&W vs leica filters

I too have heard that B&W makes Leica filters, but I
have also found that in some case, the B&W filters
lack grooves or are of a slightly different size.

For example, on my 50 Summilux (1980s version) only a
Leica 43mm filter will allow the 12586 hood to lock on
the lens in reversed position.

Maybe there are B&W filters with the necessary groove
to allow this as well, but the one I tried allowed the
hood to slide right off.
