Had a look on their website, but nothing there.
Think I've managed to get one from Peter Walnes in Somerset. www.peterwalnes.com
Very helpful chap.

Peter Walnes was struggling getting me one so on his recommendation I managed to get and adapter from Robert Whites.
I am now fully filtered, coded and ready to go!
Here's one of my first pics using it on the M8. 15mm is great fun.

Most elegant solution I have seen so far. I shoot the M8 and was considering a 15mm Heliar but the filter misery kept me off.
After seeing this, I might succumb after all!

I guess this is bumping this up a bit, but I just figured out a non-invasive, non-destructive method for attaching a filter to the LTM 15mm Heliar.
I used a pair of step-up rings. One is a 46-52mm, the other is a 52-67mm.
The inside of the 46mm ring can be smoothed out a bit and widened with a bit of steel wool to ensure it slips over the outside of the minuscule "hood" petals on the Heliar.
The 52-67mm step-up ring screws into the one mounted on the lens and the rest is academic.
My solution here is really secure. Probably a bit too secure, but my 15mm is not perfect so I'm not worried about scratching the hood petals very much.
I think I could have used a 48-52mm ring for the one which attaches to the lens and stuck some thin neoprene or felt to the inside of the ring for a bit more polished design.
This allows me to use the 15mm with filtration on my M4 without vignetting as well as on my soon to arrive M8. I already have a collection of 67mm filters used with S mount Bronicas so there is no reason for me to buy any more aside from a 67mm UV/IR cut filter for the M8.
The adapters are each less than $5USD.
Happy shooting!
