[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The screw thread is 39mm x 0.75 not the 39mm x 0.5 of the E39 standard. Series 5.5 filters are held in place by the hoods of the 40 Summicron-C & 90 Elmar-C lenses. Difficult to find second hand, series 5.5 filters can be ordered new from B & W (Schneider). Special order, but they arrive eventually! Hope this helps. ********************************************************** Richard Ogden Preston, Lancashire, UK Visit The Postal Photographic Club Homepage http://ppc-home.members.beeb.net ********************************************************** - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edmund-Tan Ann-Wen (r40248)" <r40248@email.sps.mot.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, April 10, 2000 2:09 AM Subject: [Leica] Filter for 40mm Summicron. > Friends, > > I have just got a CL with 40mm Summicron, but don't know the filter size.
