Biogon 35mm 2.0 UV filter, where can I buy one?

[toksuede]

I'm at a loss.

Just got the Zeiss Biogon 35mm F2.0 and all I want is to protect it from sharp objects.

Which size UV filter do I have to buy? I went to the local camera store in Paris and they were dumb founded (yes, they are French).

Would a normal 43mm filter from Tiffen fit?

Since I will be in Liverpool over the weekend, do you think I can buy one at the local Jacobs?

Sorry about the questions, but I'm sick of pinching the lens cap off...

I have B&W MRC (Multi-Resistant Coating).
You can order from B&H or Calumet in the US.

Just so UK and European members know, it's very difficult to get a 43mm anything in Europe. The best bet (or as I have done) is to go through Amazon.
Jacobs / Jessops didn't have anything with that size.

Robert White? ffordes? I know Peter White used to list them.

43mm B+W UV MRC. That's what I keep on 2 of my RF lenses. 39mm & 46mm on the rest.

I purchased all of my B+W MRC filters used at this and other forums and the Leica Users Group. I'm a very happy customer.

I usually find 43mm and 39mm filters in the video/camcorder accessories section of places.

Robert White or Ffordes both carry B&W MRC in 'rf sizes'

Yep

Yep

That's what I thought. Even in the States, B+W MRC filters aren't carried by local shops. We have to have them sent in.
