E39 filters for the Leicas can range from $5 to $25 depending on where you 
look and how lucky you are.  The dealers are often most expensive and swap 
meets and camera shows can be surprising.  It often depends on how much they 
don't want to repack and take home.....

46mm. It works fine. I think it's the same as an 89B.
