    Filter sizes for Leica M lenses

    July 9, 2025 /

    As you might expect, Leica offer its own range of UV filters, which are recommended for protection of the front element both in everyday use and to avoid its cleaning; I wouldn’t want to scratch it over such aaa mundane task. However, I also recommend B+W (UV or Clear) filters, which, although part of the German brand Schneider-Kreuznach, tend to be a little cheaper and not considered inferior.  The XS-Pro, now replaced by the ‘Master’, features a thin brass frame and a Nano coating to facilitate easier cleaning. More competitively priced offerings include the excellent Breakthrough Photography UV X2 range and the Firecrest series by Formatt Hitech, [affiliate links follow]:…

    Recomended Filters for Lens Protection

    May 19, 2025 /

    Filters for lens protection seem to divide opinions, however, I’m strongly in favour of them. Not only do they prevent fumbling with lens caps (keep those for storage), but they’re also a lot easier to clean than the front element. I also don’t like cleaning lenses and would rather accidentally scratch a filter than my lens. And if you think it’s unlikely, take a look at the number of secondhand lenses for sale on eBay with scratched front elements. Those few that aren’t sell for appreciably more. My filter of choice for my Canon lenses is the Canon ‘Protect’ or Protector filter. I also use Canon Polarisers, which can also…
