[Leica] WTB: IR/UV filters

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

What you don't seem to understand Mark:

The filters used on the M8 are referred to as:
_______UV/IR filters__________
That's what is stamped on the filter.
That's what it says on the boxes.
That's what ya gotta get.
That's what the man is asking for.

The WTB is not for UV filters.
never was about UV filters.
