[Leica] WTB: Leica Series 5.5 UVa filter for 40mm Summicron...

Vince is right. As long as you don't screw it down hard, the 39mm does
fine.  In fact, I screw the rubber shade into the filter and the filter into
the shade.  This is the IR cut filter that i use on the 40 mm Summicron C
when I use it on my M8.
