Hi Group -
I want to buy some filters (yellow, orange and red) for
my 90/f2.8 Elmarit (46 mm) and the 35mm-Summilux (39 mm).
Does Leica sell filters? Experience with them? Where to
buy them? (I live in Ithaca, NY which is centrally isolated.)
Any other brands to look at? (Tiffen, Cokin,..??)
(On occasion, I'd also love to use a polarizing filter,
but I Think that it's a lot easier on my Nikon SLR.)
Thanks for your thoughts.

P.S.: I entered a juried photo show last week. Three photos
max were permitted. Two of mine were accepted. Both
were taken with my M6. One with the Elmarit and the
other with the Summilux (a 20 by 30 inch print!)
The picture taken with my Nikon N90s/105/f2.5 was
not accepted. Hmm. Maybe there IS something magical
about the photos one takes with an all-manual
great-glass camara. But maybe not.
(The two photographs "Rutland I" and "Trinity" can
be seen on my WEB site. "Fencers" was rejected.)
