Hi everyone,

My UV/IR filters from Leica arrived today!  for those with similar needs, 
those who have the pre-asph 35 Sumilux lens, i ordered the 49mm (E49) filter 
for my Summilux, and i found it fits the filter tray in the 12504 hood just 
fine.  it must be put in with the threads out, toward the subject, but it 
drops in and the retaining ring screws right down over it with no problems.

An interesting observation, is the color tint of the Leica filters is less 
than the heliopan filters and looks practically clear when comparing them 
side by side.  I checked the filter for the magenta shift and it seems to 
take care of it just the same as the heliopan filters.

For those still waiting, i ordered my filters around the 25th of February.

Gene
