That means Series 7 Filters, inside the hood. If you want to use this on a M8 with the UV/IR Filter, it means a filter that costs upwards of $170. If you can get one... as they are also for the 24 or 21 ( I forget which) Lux. AS far as I can find, there is no B+W nor Heliopan option. Leica only. So if you are a bit cheap, and have a E49 filter.... drop that puppy in the hood ( backwards with the threads facing out) and continue on with life..... Bob's your uncle. Coding? Yes, the mount seems like a diabolical joke to remove for sending to Milich... so code it with a felt pen......now that is really cheap. Just another data point for M8 users that want to use a UV/IR filter. Isn't trailing technology great? BTW, no, I am not sure that the filter works correctly backwards.... but it's all I got.
