Subject: [Leica] 81B Filter Questions

Hello All,

I often use an 81B filter when shooting transparency film under
cloudy/shady conditions with my Nikons and have a Hoya HMC (multicoated)
filter for that purpose.  I'd like to find a multicoated 81B filter to
use on my 35/f2 Summicron-M (E-39), but none of the manufacturers I've
checked (B&W, Tiffen, Hoya) list a multicoated 81B in that size.  

1.  Is there such a thing as a multicoated E-39 size 81B filter?

2.  Do I even need "multicoating" on a warming filter.
