Leica 13417 43mm camera filter

Filter UV/IR d=43mm, f/ M8 The Leica 55mm UVIR silver Filter is recommended for CCD applications where digital image sensors have not been fitted with an IR protection filter, specifically the Leica M8. Due to the space limitations between the lens mount and the sensor, Leica had to limit the amount of infrared filtering done at the sensor stage. Because of this, it is easy to get pinkish blacks when photographing in certain lighting conditions. This filter will eliminate this problem and because it is completely clear and requires no increase in exposure. Its filter factor is 1 and it can also serve as a protection filter.
