Read my previous post Jo.

If Leica (and Zeiss, Schneider, Rodenstock, etc...) puts UV inhibiting in 
both the lens glass and the cement between the elements, what good will 
adding yet another layer of UV inhibiting. There's nothing more to inhibit. 
And it doesn't correct the color temperature anyway.

Been there (Colorado and the Swiss Alps) and done that. Does nothing!

Which is why a filter to correct the color temperature of the light is what 
is needed. A B+W KR3 for landscapes & sunny subjects or KR6 if your subject 
is in the shade. On a bright fall day at 14,000 ft., a KR6 might be used 
for everything.
