[Leica] IR filter/24mm lens problem

[rclompus at mac.com (Richard Clompus)]

Dear Fellow LUGers,

I finally took the plunge and joined the Leica M8 revolution.  This  
began a chain of events that continues today.  Of course I also  
needed a few new bags, an extra battery, more SD cards, SD card  
storage device, portable hard drive, new computer software, new iMac  
to go with new software, new table in study to hold upgraded  
computer, higher chair since my neck hurts now when viewing the  
larger screen, country AC adapters for travel and a cart full of UV/ 
IR filters.  Wow - what a transition.  Now the problem.

I am can't seem to attach the Leica lens shade on my 24mm asph  
elmarit with the B&W UV/IR filter screwed into the front of the  
lens.  Do the filters come with thinner profiles?  Or perhaps I'm  
just not pushing hard enough...

Any suggestions?
