Vintage Leica Filters

G

Guest

Other than the UV filters and the polarizer, I don't think Leitz is currently selling any lens filters. I am looking for some chrome-ring 39mm filters for B&W work. Are the old original Leica filters up to modern standards, coated, etc.? Or shall I get a modern filter from the current manufacturers? I regularly see vintage Leica filters on eBay and they are sometimes bit up to stratospheric prices, depending on color. Any recommendations, tips?

>Personally I feel the present day coated option from B+W & Heliopan is far more better than the older days Leitz filter... Though they can be collector item...

Why don't you try the local photo swap show in your area? When shooting B&W, I use a medium yellow filter on all my lenses, and was gradually able to pick up enough for all my lenses paying no more than $10.00 each.
Happy Snaps,
