Leica E39 UVa Filter (Red Lettering) 《LEITZ WETZLAR GERMANY》 [Overview] This is a genuine UVa filter made by LEITZ WETZLAR. It's a somewhat rare type with red lettering. It has the solid build typical of vintage Leitz products, exuding an atmosphere that sets it apart from recent products. It is compatible with lenses with an E39 (39mm filter diameter). [Condition] Both the frame and glass are in beautiful condition with almost no signs of use. There are no problems with attaching it to a lens. [Comments] The red-letter UVa filters were from the early days of M-mount lenses, and are less common than the earliest black-letter versions. They would match the era of the later versions of the fixed Summicron, Elmar 50mm/90mm, Summicron 35mm/f2.8, and Summicron 8-element lenses, which are known as "double-scale" lenses with both m/feet markings. Matching vintage accessories with vintage lenses is one of the joys for Leica fans. Historical Leica products have accessories with characteristics of each era, providing endless enjoyment. Collecting these accessories also brings a great sense of psychological satisfaction. As it is the most versatile E39 size, it's a great point that it can be used with various lenses. You can also enjoy fresh combinations by matching it with current lenses. 〜 Leica Treasure Market 〜
