AW: [Leica] Filters for 90 Elmar-C

[Michael Dienert <MDienert@foq.de>]

dear bob,
i would recommend a series 5.5 drop-in filter. otherwise you cannot use
the shade together with the filter. 
the summicron-c has the same filter-size.

buy a heliopan. they are very well made and you can get them for a
reasonable price.

i own a cl with summicron-c and 90 emar-c and am very satisfied with the
heliopans.

yours, 

michael
