Free Leica IR cut filters shipping!

[Andy Aitken]

For those of you still waiting, I thought you'd like to know I just received my free filters from Leica (at last).

Bye bye magenta! All we need now is the v1.10 firmware...

Great to hear it Andy!
Has anyone in the UK got IR filters yet?

[Steve Cook]

Still no filters for me in the UK

[HansRoggen]

When did you order yours Andy?

Let's see - I registered on or about the 24th of January. They came direct from Solms by UPS. Assuming they are shipping them all at much the same time, I'd have thought anyone in Europe who registered more than a couple of weeks ago should be getting them within a few days. Just in the nick of time for me - I fly to the US today and I prefer my in-laws not to look like pimps (ie in purple suits).

BTW I ordered 2x 39mm filters so it could also be that they were ready first. Hope y'all get them soon - they make a big difference.

Registered for mine months ago!

I'm glad someone has received the filters. Thanks for posting.

I have not received the two filters despite Leica's confirmation of my early registration and filter request via an e-mail confirmation on 6 December. (I'm an M8 owner in the USA.) I especially need the 60mm filter for my already coded and eagerly waiting 21mm non-ASPH Elmarit!

Hi Andy,
I registered mine on january the 3rd and the 26th.
Maybe it has something to do with your name starting with an A and mine with an R.
Have fun in the States!
