I've owned a collapsible Summicron, with pristine front coating, 
since the early '60s. This lens has had only one cleaning in recent 
years with Clear Sight and a cotton square cut from old underwear. 
IMHO (& with no intention of starting another UV filter war) these 
old soft-coated Leitz lenses are prime candidates for UV filters. 
Mine has a semi-permanent Leitz UVa removed ONLY when it is replaced 
with a yellow, green, red, etc. filter.
