Asunto: [Leica] Img: Completed Summitar UV/IR Filter

Since I already had a spare Heliopan UV/IR filter and an orange Summitar
conical filter, I decided to go ahead and perform the surgery to make a
UV/IR filter for my 50mm Summitar.

The glass of both filters is the same diameter so all you need to do is
switch the glass. However be aware that you should have the right tools for
the job. See here

The black thing in the picture is a rubber conical tool required to unscrew
the filter retainer from the Heliopan filter. The filter is not slotted to
accept a spanner wrench. It uses pressure only to unscrew the retainer.

Here is a photo with the completed UV/IR filter on the Summitar. It works
like a champ.

The tools for the job can be ordered on line. I just forget where.

And thanks to Rei for suggesting this filter.
