I'm told that the actual name for this is a step-up ring. Most of my lenses are 60mm filter size, and my Summicron takes a 55mm filter, so my polarizer won't work...I just found one in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The url of Reid Sweet/Retail Photographics is ReidSweet.com. The Manager's name is Bruce Burns the phone is 902 423 8381, and the fax is 902 429 3029. BTW, all this info came to me from helpful Robert G. Stevens, one of our fellow LUGgers, who put me onto Bruce, and to whom I must say thanks again. It is a B+H part [Leica does not make one], and the numbers on my new ring are (4b) 60EI-55EA. The male threads are 55mm, and the female, 60mm permitting the use of 60 mm filters on a lens with 55mm filter size. The cost of the new ring, delivered in Denver USA was less than U$23. Your instincts are correct, this is a damned hard thing to find, in my experience. I hope this helps. Enjoy the light. Greg Bicket
