Subject: [Leica] Do I need a 'slim' filter for a 24mm elmarit?

Poor guy was asking whether to "slim or not to slim"

UV filter for the 24mm.

FYI, the if you are thinking of putting a slim B+W filter on the 24mmf2.8 
ASPH, don't.

The shade will no longer fit on. The shade WILL fit on with the regular 
CHEAPER filter. Strange, huh?

The slim filters are just ever so slightly wider...and that blocks the shade 
tab that locks the shade in right position.

If you need to spend more, the Leica filter fits fine too and doesn't 
vignette. ;-)

cheers,
Rich
