Do I detect a search for a UV/IR filter for a Summitar?

Get a SNHOO, or S.K. Grimes http://www.skgrimes.com/ makes a Summitar
'tapered 36mm' to 39mm adapter.  Well worth it, especially if you also have
any Summicrons, Summarons or the modern Summarits with a 39mm fitting.  You
can even get the SK Grimes adapter with a slot cut in it so the original
hood fits.

A Summitar has provided me with some amazing images on my M8.
