However, the answers that I got, didn't help me at all: apparently I didn't explain the problem well enough. I recently went to some of the local photo dealers to get UVa filter for my 1:2/35 Summicron (with eyes) and 1:4/90 Elmar (the one you pull out). They all had both regular 39 mm and 40.5 mm UVa's in stock. The 40.5 was definitely too big, while the 39 mm filter was just fragments of one mm too small to fit - it just fell off. I then checked directly with Hama here in Germany, and they told me that Leica 39 is different from regular 39. Alas, they don't make the filters I need anymore, so hence my question regarding other manufacturers.....! Matt.
