Leica only. > I obviously have the earlier version of the 35/1.4 pre-ASPH (one of my favourite lenses), which takes the 12522 hood and an E41 filter. Thought I was going to have a problem finding an IR/UV cut filter for it (Leica don't carry this size). Then I discovered these guys: http://www.foto-huppert.de/default.asp and their email address: "Foto Huppert" <info at foto-huppert.de> They srock almost every size of B+W 486 cut filters at very reasonable prices, including E41 and Series VII. The filters work fine on my M8. They accept Paypal and are excellent communicators in English as well as German.
