Marc,
Absolutely, they're easy to find providing you know where to look and don't
mind ordering them. Sadly they don't jump out at you in plenty as 46/49/52mm
filters do.
I'm sure that Leitz chose to create their filter sizes to perversly seperate
their goods from the rest of the photographic world, or maybe (as leitz had
been around before most of the rest of them) it was the other way about?!
