Don - you replied

"...you can't really use a polarizer on a 19 for the reason you suggest.
It covers a much wider angle than can be polarized.  In effect, you will get
a section that looks good and a whole lot that doesn't. "

Thanks for verifying my expectations.  I thought maybe there might have
been an obscure adapter off of a 1955 chrome .85 Jupiterbessaflex or a
Spanish factory made bokeh stretcher  or some other such Leica obscurra
which might be the ticket.  Although, come to think of it, a seamstress's
hoop comes kinda close! I guess I will just have to improve the
photographer and stop worrying about the filter!

Thanks again,
John B.
