Subject: Re: [Leica] Filters for R lens 60mm

I do not use any system filters but a quick check of B&H's site shows that
there is no E60 adapter ring. You could use a step-up ring to E62 size which
they do offer. A better solution IMHO is the Lee "Gel Snap" (uses a rubber
band) which will mount a standard 4x4 gel filter holder onto any lens up to
82mm in diameter.
