Subject: [Leica] A really idiotic filter question

This may be the most silly question posed on the LUG
this year, but I don't care...I am thinking of trying
infrared film, and so have been looking at filters
(deep red etc.). I have never used filters with any of
my Leicas, and I do not understand the filter sizes.
For example, my 50mm Summicron M has a filter size
given as E39. All well and good, except that when I go
to B&H's web site or Heliopan's ditto, I see no such
size. All the sizes are given in terms of diameter,
e.g. 55mm etc. So if I want to buy a filter for my
Summicron, what size do I order????
