Leica 39E Ultra Violet (UV) Glass Filter with Black Mount

A filter is a filter, is a filter...unless the one I received was silver mount instead of black mount. Looks just a little out of place on my black Leica lens.

Used in good condition. Expensive like everything from Leica.

I bought this to protect the front element of a new Summicron 35mm ASPH lens. I protect all of my lenses with some sort of UV filter to prevent front element damage. This is especially important on some vintage lenses such as the collapsible Summicron 50, which has very soft lens coatings which are easily damaged. Nicely made, very low profile, with Leitz glass. The reflectivity is about the same as for B+W MRC filters. My only qualm about recommending this filter is that the B+W MRC give you the same quality for a lot less. Nevertheless, if you've paid a lot for new Leica glass, you may want a real Leica filter to go with it.
