Hi all,
Just picked up a Mountain Elmar (that I quickly sent off to Youxin for a CLA), but wanted to have some filters ready for B+W work in the coming months.
My understanding is that Leica only produced filters for this lens that attach to the original hood. Is this true?
I have the original hood but it no longer stays on well and I'd like to purchase some thread-in filters, but have failed to find the size online. I suspect that I'll have to have S.K. Grimes make an adapter but wanted to see if anyone else knew more.
My hunch is that it's close to 34mm x 0.50mm pitch or there abouts?

The books say:
36mm push on, to the hood.
24mm and 22mm screw in were made but not listed by Leitz
I'm quoting, although I have had this lens in the past it is a long time ago.

Thanks for this info, I knew about the A36 push-on but not the others. Are you citing Lager or Puts?

Neither. Laney and Sartorius.

I've got a set of Walz filters (Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, and UV) in a plastic case that is labeled "For Elmar". The outer ring of the filters is 22mm. They also fit the Argus Cintar 50/3.5
