Leica 67mm UV/IR Filter E67 (13415) - Accessory

Model Details

UV/IR filter made by Leica for all lenses with 39mm filter threads. Originally designed to be used with the Leica M8 because of limited amount of infrared filtering done at the sensor resulting in pinkish blacks and shadows (in certain shooting situations). Blocks both ultraviolet and infrared light from reaching the film/sensor. In general mainly intended to be used with digital cameras that does not have an IR filter of their own in front of the sensor. Can introduce a green color shift at the edge of the frame when used with wide angle lenses. The Leica M8/8.2 however will compensate for this. Metal body available in black.

Leica M

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.

One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.

Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
