Thanks, Len.  I have two free ones coming from Leica and I ordered 
them to fit the two biggest lens sizes that I have.  They won't ship 
until February, though.  From what I hear the filters decrease the 
light by one stop, doing away with the advantage of my expensive fast 
lenses. And I still have to send my M8 in for refitting.  We'll see.
