Yes Iv'e used this "swing" polariser for the M for about 4 years. It cost
about $400 Australian (about $290 US) and it may look "crazy" but it works a
treat and has a built in lens hood.

Unfortunately it only works with the 39mm threads ... But it will NOT work
with the new 50mm Summicron with the built in lens hood
