Subject: [Leica] Need Help With Lens

Hi all.  This is my first submission to the list.

I recently purchased a used 28mm 2.8 Elmarit-M lens.  This is a model 
manufactured in Canada with a 49mm filter size.  The lens has two 
metal posts where either a lens cap or lens shade attaches.

I purchased a B+W 49mm UV slim filter but found that both the lens 
cap and lens shade would not attach with the filter in place.

Does anyone know whether a Leica made filter would rectify this 
problem or is this camera essentially filterless if one wants to use 
a lens shade.

Many thanks in advance for your responses!

Best wishes,

Richard Greenstone
