Subject: [Leica] B&W filters

Hello all,

With all this talk of filters, I realized that I dont use filters on my
lens.  I mainly shoot black and white.. well, actually, I've never put color
film in my M2.  Is it common for people to shoot black and white without any
filter at all?  If they do use one, what is a good general purpose filter? I
read that some recommend a yellow (which? light, medium, dark?) filter and
others a yellow-green one.  Also, the lens I'm using is a 40 summicron, and
I think it's supposed to use a series 5.5.  Does B+W still make Series 5.5
filters?   I think those are the questions I have..

Thanks all!
