Strange isn't it. They do make series 5.5 filters for the large aperture 
reflex lenses which are inserted internally in the lens (filter drawer). The 
formulation requires a filter be present so they come with a ND x 1, or, in 
other words, clear glass. Whether this clear filter would also eliminate UV, 
I wouldn't know. It is available and the part number is 13 026.

B+W, Heliopan and others can provide any of their filters in series 5.5.
