No - I am not trying to be a censor. What I am doing is imagining what can quickly happen to the LUG if we veer even further away from the subject of Leicas and their use, deep into politics and international relations. This is an absolute "no win" topic that is certainly worth of discussion, but perhaps that discussion belongs on the ForeignAffairs.alt, or some such. Respectfully - B. D. NOW - The Legitimate Leica Question: Does anyone know what size filter and/or shade I need for a 35 2.8 Canon Serenar screw mount lens, and/or where I might find same. I'm particular anxious to get my hands on a lens shade. Thanks in advance. still B.D.
