Dear friends,

I would like to introduce myself. I am Kike Calvo, a Spanish photographer based in NYC. I would like to thank you for this wonderful information about rangefinders.
I am a Nikon guy, and recently started shooting with an M8.
I have a question about lenses. Which IR Leica filters should I use for Zeiss 50 1.4 and 21 2.8? Any suggestions will be very welcome and appreciated.

I would like to take the opportunity to invite you to check my site www.KIKECALVO.com

Best wishes and hoping to chat with many of you in the near future.

Welcome to RFF!

I really enjoyed your photos. Especially the wide of the what, bamboo? Also the ladies in their costumes. Nice color.

Hope to see more.

Welcome on board :) I have the 28/2.8 Biogon (excellent lens btw) and it takes the Leica UV/IR or B&W 486 46 mm filter. However this focal length must be coded. John Milich sells the appropriate codable lens mount.
It is also advisable to use the ZI 25/28 lens hood, as the original 21 mm one is quite useless.
