Obviously, the IR effect is stronger with the 715. I don?t remember how that translates into the BW terminology. Heliopan?s numbers indicate the wavelength. As for filter size, I see no reason why a Leica lens labelled E55 would not accept ordinary 55mm filters. I have always bought non-Leica filters for my Leica lenses (BW, Heliopan).
