I didn't use it very long. Then I bought the usual swing out polarizer and liked it right away. unfortunate it can only be used with A42 mounts. On the other hand it does fit on a lot of lenses. This polarizer started to separated so I took my chances when I found a good deal on ebay and bought a new version swing out polarizer. Because I use older lenses I had to buy another two filter rings but now I can also use my 28 and 50 summilux. Unfortunate it doesn't fit my 35 summilux (pre asph) so for that lens I still use the old version swing out polarizer. The new version also obstructs the VF quit a bit. The polarizer itself is not so bulky but in the very nice carrying case, which also hold the rings, it is a bit bulky. It makes the camera a bit bigger and of course operation takes a bit more time. But in the end ti is worth it. Best regards, Michiel Fokkema Frank Farmer wrote: > Michiel, > > Do you use the Leica Polarizer-M? If so, do you find it to be bulky and inhibit the handling of the camera? Have you tried other normal polarizers and noted the rotation prior to putting it on the lens? I ask because I love the look that a polarizer will give but have never used one an a rangefinder and I have a feeling that is will make the camera feel a bit clumsy? Am I wrong? Of course, other with knowledge of this topic please chime in too. > > Thanks in advance, > Frank > > -------Original Message------- > From: Michiel Fokkema <michiel.fokkema@wanadoo.nl> > Sent: 09/08/03 01:57 PM > To: LUG <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > Subject: [Leica] Michiel's PAW 31 > > >>Hello, > > <http://home.wanadoo.nl/michiel.fokkema/Fotografie/paw/24a.htm> > We were cycling along the dike.
