I just got Voigtlander Super-Wide Heliar 15mm F4.5. To my regret, no filter to be commercialized from the facotry. So I should pay attention not to touch or spoil the surface of the lens while using. Is there anybody who knows how to adapt the filter adjustable to it? Thnk you!

Hi Lasamo, use a 15 mm too, Bought a 77 mm adapter for any filter at
CameraQuest. It is made for the 12 mm but it does fit on the 15 mm
barrel. Good luck, PikesPeak
 
Lasamo, I forgot to mention that the 15 mm lens does not have filter
threads, but youshould have a lens cap. The adapter sells for $59.00
 
I use a Cokin A300 bracket, which is an L-shaped bracket which mounts on the tripod thread and allows the placement of a Cokin A Series filter in front of the lens. If the filter is placed right against the built-in lens hood no part of the bracket or the filter protrudes into the image area. The only problem I have noticed with a few images is that strong light behind the filter can put a reflection off the rear surface of the filter into the image, particularly if it is a dark filter.
 
Lasamo-
There have been numerouos threads on this subject, many of us finding the 'no filter option' intolerable. Use the search function, I think you'll find an overwhelming nuber of options people have come up with to get a filter on that great little lens.
Enjoy!
