Yes, they will. However, Leica filters have not worked on Canon lenses since WWII.

I have the yellow one, and it fits my 50/3.5, 35/3.5, 90/4 Elmars, the I-22 and the 50/2 Summar.

kin, do they have the same filter size and if so what might that be?

i have a few 34mm sized lenses and i'm thinking this is a quick on/off when i might want to use one or the other filter.

The 50/3.5 & 35/3.5 Elmars are both A36, as is the I-22 copy, since there is no filter thread at all. The Summar and 90/4 Elmar both have 34mm sized threads.

thank you sir.
i am relieved, these filters should work fine on my lenses then.

if not i will send them to you 😉

I have the A-36 filters in yellow, orange, green & red. I also have taken a bad skylight A-36 filter, removed the glass and secured a 40.5 - 49mm step-up adapter to it. It permits me to use 49mm filters and hoods on my Elmars, Hektors & Summaron. I'm thinking of making another adapter for either 43mm or 46mm accessories. Some 49mm hoods blocks the rangefinder on my SM Leicas while the smaller ones shouldn't.

does anyone know of any websites that talk about push on filters and different sizes etc.

my search came up pretty empty.
