[Leica] Can't keep up with the LUG

Len,

Thanks for the info.  I am probably going to get a couple Heliopan filters 
for the 50 Summicron and the 35/1.7 CV lenses.  I have a 35Summilux Titanium 
version, but it looks like it takes Series 7 filters, so will probably order 
that through Leica as on of the free ones.
