The problem is that you cannot get a 39mm adapter for any of these filter
systems.

Ok Tristan Tom,

Maybe this will help.  You can get a  "Cokin" filter holder.  ( or other
brands like "Ambico"  of even 3x3" ) These let you slide the filter into
groves in the holder,   And then get your graduated neutral density or even
graduated colored filter,  and make a series of exposures moving the filter
a little bit.  Yes I must be out of my mind for suggesting putting a plastic
resin filter in front of a leica, but try it and see for yourself.  A tripod
would be necessary for the series of exposures.
