Questions & Answers

Shopper : Can this filter be used with camera's other then the M8? I want a UV Filter to use with a Leica 18mm lens that does not have the IR issues that an M8 has. If this can work I may buy it in place of a UV filter and the adapter ring. Thanks.LAWRENCE L : It might cause vignetting for sensors larger than than the M8.KENNETH H : This filter is UV/IR and has the issue you want to avoid.ANDREW R : I suppose that theoretically this filter could be used with cameras other than the M8, however a simple UV filter would be at least as effective.
Shopper : Does this filter need an adaptor to be used with the 18mm/3.5 leica lens?

Review Summary

About Leica 13422 Digital UV/IR Filter for 18mm f/3.8 m Lens

• This Filter is recommended for CCD applications where digital image sensors have not been fitted with an IR protection filter. Specifically the Leica M8, because of space limitations between the lens mount and the sensor Leica had to limit the amount of infrared filtering done at the sensor. Because of this you can get pinkish blacks when photographing in certain lighting conditions. This filter will eliminate this problem.

This filter is completely clear and it requires no increase in exposure. Its filter factor is 1. It can also serve as a protection and filter out unwanted UV and infrared light rays.

This Filter has been developed for the use of the lens in combination with the LEICA M8 models. It is placed between the lens and lens hood.
