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.

How can you enhance your photography while protecting your valuable equipment The Series VIII UVa II Glass Filter, designed exclusively for Leica, offers a high-quality, durable solution. This professional-grade filter safeguards your lens from scratches, marks, and dirt, ensuring its longevity and maintaining its pristine condition.

Crafted from the same high-grade optical glass as renowned Leica lenses, this filter is meticulously ground and polished, adhering to Leica's stringent testing and acceptance conditions. This ensures superior optical precision, making it a reliable choice for photographers seeking to preserve full imaging quality, even in unfavorable lighting conditions.

The UVa II filter features Leica's multi-coating technology, identical to that used on their lenses. This advanced coating reduces light reflections to a mere 0.35%, allowing you to maintain the full image quality of your Leica lenses, even in challenging lighting scenarios such as backlight.

In addition to its optical benefits, the UVa II filter showcases perfect mechanical craftsmanship. Made from the same aluminum as Leica lenses, it comes in a silver or black anodized finish to seamlessly match your Leica equipment. The filter glass is securely held in place with a screw-ring, a superior alternative to a simple clip, and the product details are elegantly engraved, eschewing cheap printing.

Moreover, the UVa II filter is designed with an additional thread, enabling its use in combination with other filters. This feature not only enhances your photographic capabilities but also provides permanent protection for your other valuable filters.

In essence, the Series VIII UVa II Glass Filter is an effective tool for blocking ultraviolet light, reducing UV haze, and improving overall image quality. It's a testament to Leica's commitment to quality, durability, and professional performance.

Leica UVa II Filter Features

  • High-grade optical glass ensures superior image quality and lens protection
  • Advanced Leica multi-coating technology reduces light reflections and glare
  • Durable anodized aluminum frame matches Leica lens aesthetics
  • Screw-ring glass attachment offers enhanced security over clip-on filters
  • Engraved detailing for a professional finish and brand authenticity
  • Additional filter thread for convenient stacking with other lens filters
