Does the end of the lens (the filter threads) rotate when focussing and/or zooming? My question stems around a polarizer. Will you have to re-adjust the polarizer after focussing/zooming? <snip> The front end of the lens rotates when focusing. It does not rotate when zooming. The reason Leica gave for this rotating lens was to make the lens more compact. Since I don't use filters all that often, it won't affect my photos. Although I would like to get back into using polarizing filters. I got away from them using the M camera and lenses. So you have to focus and then reset your polarizing filter.
