E39 Adapter for Universal Polarizer M Filter Filter Systems - Other Filter Accessories This is a 39mm replacement adapter for the Leica Universal Polarizer.

This is a 46mm replacement adapter for the Leica Universal Polarizer.

The Leica filters for the Leica M system are made of optically pure glass, parallel plane ground and precisely annealed, so the full performance of the Leica M lenses is retained even with a filter attached. The range is purposely limited to the filters most commonly needed in photographic practice: The UVa filter primarily performs the role of protecting the front element of the lens, and can be left permanently attached. The circular polarization filter eliminates disturbing reflections on non-metallic surfaces, and helps to increase contrast as well as provide richer color reproduction.

A characteristic of polarization filters is that they show the same effect after each 180-degree rotation. The polarization filter for the Leica M is thus supplied with an adapter with a swivel fitting, allowing it to be rotated 180 degrees to in front of the viewfinder so you can assess and control its effect before taking the shot.

This adapter allows the Leica Universal Polarizer to be used on Leica's 135/3.4 Apo Telyt M lens.
