Subject: [Leica] FS: 72mm filter adapter for CV 15mm with B+W filters

Up for sale is a hardly used, complete 72mm filter adapter set for the 
Voigtl?nder 15mm f4 Super Wide-Heliar including 3 high quality B+W filters 
for $350.

The adapter is custom made by an european Hasselblad repair specialist. Only 
a few samples were produced and I doubt he'll make a second series.

The filter adapter is screwed over the Heliar with a plastic screw 
(preventing lens barrel scratches). A part of the adapter ring is 
transparent so that the aperture indexes are still visible (see picture).

It takes 72mm slim/flat filters. Regular 72mm filters would also screw in 
but are too thick and would cause vignetting.

Included with the adapter are three high quality B W Schneider Kreuznach 
72mm filters, SLIM, MRC (Multicoated on both sides). The double side coating 
is a must for wide angles, otherwise the inner side may reflect light. Bessa 
L and finder ARE NOT INCLUDED.

- 090M Red 5x with filter cap, plastic case, paper box.
- 010M UV-Haze filter w/ filter cap, plastic case, paper box. 
- 060M Green 2x with plastic case, paper box. 

These slim MRC filters are usually not in stock but only made at Kreuznach 
on special order, like I did. I paid ?120 per filter. The filters are as new 
(had only used the red so far). I had bought this kit shortly before I 
purchased the R-D1, which has its own digital color filter feature, and 
since then the kit got obsolete.

Handling:
The filter adapter stays well on the lens and holds well a long walk at the 
lake with camera on the neck strap. The aperture ring is easy to use, just 
turn the whole adapter with. For obvious physical reasons, the camera should 
not be held at the filter adapter, nor should the adapter be pushed or 
pulled strongly, otherwise it may slip off. 

I sell the complete kit only, please do not ask me for single items. Payment 
with Paypal (worldwide) or IBAN/Bankwire (Europe only). 

Shipping is with swiss post flat fee worldwide $16. For EU citizens I may 
ship it from Germany with DHL for $25 to cover my fuel costs (75km) and 
working time. But this may save you VAT and customs fees.
