Subject: [Leica] Re: 60mm filters for 100m R Apo-Elmarit?

B+W makes a complete line-up of 60mm filters, as does Heliopan. I have
several 60mm lenses and have never had a problem getting filters. B+W and
Heliopan must be distributed in Australia. B&H surely does handle them as I
have purchased a gaggle of 60mm filters from them.
