IR Filters in the UK

[Steve Cook]

Does anyone know where it's possible to get IR filters in the UK, and which ones - I'm rather confused at the moment. I'm looking for a 46mm one if it helps, it's a pity that Leica is not delivering the free ones until February, we need them now!

Unbelievably 55 people have viewed this post but no-one has posted a reply. Does that mean that there's 55 people in the UK that need IR filters but no-one that knows where to get them!

None of the Leica dealers I've spoken to have any idea either!

Try SRB in Luton. If they do not stock them they will make them. Perhaps a bulk order with the other 55 people!

Have you called Robert White? If you cannot find them, ken Hansen in New York has quite a few of them.

Hi Steve,

Speedgraphic (www.speedgraphic.co.uk) list them in their catalogue (B+W I seem to recall) but I can't find them on their web site.

I've wondered for a while if anyone is going to make them in less common sizes, such as Series VII size for the pre-asph Summilux...?!?

Thanks guys, I've found them in the Speedgraphic catalogue (B+W 486 IR Blocking, right?) unfortunately the don't do the 46mm required for the 28mm Zeiss lens I got from Robert White's last week (they're just round the corner from me). Robert White's didn't have any, otherwise it would have been job sorted. Looks like I'll be straight on the phone to Speedgraphic tomorrow.
Cheers
Steve

I've purchase 5 different sizes so far from www.foto-huppert.de with excellent service. They seem to have a good relationship with B+W.

I used google translation tools to navigate their web site and to order but I believe the owner does speak english.

Bob.
