Leica E39 UVa Filter (Black Lettering) 《LEITZ WETZLAR GERMANY》 [Overview] This is a genuine UVa filter made by LEITZ WETZLAR. It is the first model with black lettering. With the solid build typical of Leitz of yesteryear, it exudes an atmosphere that is clearly different from recent products. It is compatible with lenses with an E39 (39mm filter diameter). [Condition] Both the frame and the glass are in almost unused, beautiful condition. There are no problems with attaching it to a lens. [Comments] The black letter UVa is the first model for M-mount lenses. It matches well with the E39 lenses of the time, such as the collapsible/fixed Summicron, Elmar 50/90mm, and Summaron 35mm. Matching the accessories of the time with the lenses of the time is one of the pleasures of Leica fans. Historical Leica products have accessories with characteristics of each era, providing endless enjoyment. This item from the golden age of Leitz, unlike the lightweight aluminum ones of today, is made of brass with a heavy silver chrome finish. The careful finishing, such as the black paint on the edges, is a testament to Leitz's outstanding quality. Collecting these kinds of accessories also provides a great sense of psychological satisfaction. As it is the most versatile size, E39, it is also a nice point that it can be used with various lenses. Even when combined with current lenses, you can enjoy a fresh combination. ~ Leica Treasure Market ~
