I have a B+W 0.9 for my Summicron 35.  Let me tell you how much I love to
stop what I am doing, screw it on, and then take a picture.  What do you
do when you want to use an orange filter - that filter factor is not
really as high as 5x - do you then stack them?!  Vignetting gets
interesting, even with 35mm, when you stack two B+Ws.
