Does anyone know where I can get adaptor rings to use 55mm filters on these lenses. A have a HAMA catalogue which does list this kind of adaptor but because of the minimum order quantity I can't get a local dealer to order them for me. I know I can get them made in UK but it would be very expensive. I have just received the latest Leica new equipment price list. Why are the polarising filters so expensive? The price list quotes 231UKP for the E-60mm circular polarising filter. I bought one of these, the genuine Leica article, boxed, for 30UKP at a local camera fair earlier this year. - -- Reg Ronaldson Norwich,Norfolk,England
