Filter overpriced. Shipping Subpar.

The filter is crazy over priced but hey, it?s Leica. Adorama dropped the ball on packaging the filter for shipment. They just tossed it into a non padded envelope. Subpar shipping. Filter recommend.

Summilux 50mm lens hood and filter incompatibility

This filter does not work with the Summilux 50mm lens hood/cap combo that ships with the lens. There is no groove on the filter for the lens hood tabs. BTW: there appears to be no substitute.

Putting the best UVA glass on the Best 35mm lens

Adorama sold me my Leica lenses, the latest being the 35mm Summicron, which I absolutely love. To protect the lens glass I purchased the Leica E39 39mm UVa II Glass Filter rather than a second market filter - why would I skimp on the protective filter after spending the money for the best Leica 35mm lens available? Very pleased with its quality and ease to change to a 3 stop ND filter when needed. The UVA glass filter is always on the lens.

Great Quality!

As always, good fit and finish from this Leica product. The filter fits perfectly on my Leica Q and was well packaged. You get what you pay for.

Quality you can trust from Leica

Trusted quality product from Leica. Matching silver color to a silver lens is nice. It’s not the lowest profile filter but it’s sufficient.

This helps with the 24mm summilux which lacks filter threads.

An essential accessory for photography enthusiasts, the E55 55mm UVa II Glass Filter in black offers superior protection for your lens against scratches, marks, and dirt. This high-quality filter not only safeguards your lens but also enhances your photography experience by maintaining full imaging quality, even in unfavorable lighting conditions.

The UVa II filter boasts a new multicoating technology, significantly improving its optical parameters. This advanced feature ensures that your images remain clear and vibrant, regardless of the lighting conditions.

One of the standout features of this UVa II filter is its additional thread. This allows the filter to be used in conjunction with other filters, providing an extra layer of protection for your valuable equipment.

Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as the renowned Leica lenses, this filter is made of high-grade optical glass. It is grinded and polished to perfection, meeting the strict Leica test and acceptance conditions.

The UVa II filter also features the same multi-coating used on Leica lenses. This ensures the full image quality of the Leica lenses is preserved, even in challenging lighting conditions such as backlight. The multi-coating also reduces light reflections to a mere 0.35%, further enhancing your photography experience.

In terms of mechanical craftsmanship, the E55 55mm UVa II Glass Filter is second to none. It is made from the same high-quality aluminum as Leica lenses, with a choice of silver or black anodized finish to perfectly match your Leica lenses. The filter glass is securely held in place with a screw-ring, a more robust solution than a simple clip. Plus, the filter features engraved lettering, a testament to its superior quality over cheap printing.

In conclusion, the E55 55mm UVa II Glass Filter in black is a top-tier accessory that offers both protection and enhanced performance for your lenses. It's an investment that will pay dividends in the quality of your photography.
