I remember reading somewhere that there were problems with early 90mm lenses because a filter could touch the front element. The front element on the 90mm AA is bulbous and looks as though its outermost point is flush with the bottom of the screw thread to which the filter would be attached. I have a Leica E55 UVA filter and the glass looks to be inset by about 3mm into the filter ring. Am I right in assuming that I can attach this filter to my 90mm AA, or do I risk scratching the outer lens element. Thanks. Simon Amateur images at http://www.phoenixdb.co.uk/leica
