[Leica] filter size for 90/4 Elmar LTM ser no. 874068

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I have a lens and a camera where I use a step up ring in order to use a lens hood - the Canon 50mm f1.4 in LTM mount, as well as the Fuji X100S. The advantage of attaching a step up ring for this purpose is that the world of inexpensive, generic lens hoods opens up.

Cheers
