Subject: [Leica] IR B+W 289 Filter Source in Germany

(I don't think this violates the Friday only sales rule.)

If anyone is waiting to get IR cut-off filters, (B+W 489 IR-Sperrfilter) I
was given the following information from another Leica user who ordered them
from Germany.  I contacted this company by e-mail, since the web site is in
German.  They have 46mm & 49mm filters in stock, and are shipping now.  They
should have 39mm soon.

I have not gotten the filters yet, but so far this seems like a way to go if
you want some filters, and Michael Huppert has been very responsive in
e-mails.  

I had to wait 6 weeks to get a 49mm filter from B&H,
and they still have not shipped a 39mm.  I don't think I will get the two
Leica filters from Leica until April, when they release 1.10 firmware.

Cheers,
Bob Rose
