...My general feeling is that digital polarizers are not that effective, and so I don't use them. Do you feel that this is worth it? Thinking of your shots, you do go for high contrast, bright colour shots, so I suppose it fits right in for you. I would buy one for completeness, but I guess the prize will be very high.
For me it's worth every cent, all 65,000 of them. I should have bought the filter when I bought the lens (I've had it about 15 years) but held off for many years, they are just so damn expensive for what they are. But for me, for car photography, it's a must-have filter. You wouldn't need it for people.
By the way, there are 2 similar drop in CP filters and they are not interchangeable so make sure you buy the correct one if you decide to get one. You need the 13340 for the 180/2, see below.

Sorry to mislead you, I have uploaded the wrong pic as the correct 13340 has an open loop.
I will give you the heads up when I locate my 13340. But in the mean time, I have spotted a 13340 for sale at a rather low price. Caveat Emptor.
I am sending you the info by PM.

It's a joy to use 13340 or 13338. That's why I'd rather spend $$$ for 13338 instead of the 77mm CPL on my 280/4 APO.

I think all of them do that trick, tho I would probably avoid "hard" ones. That white stuff is just dust and oxidized layer of rubber (aged). There is some silicon stuff which can sorta "conserve" rubber.

Something like that tho I would be careful and take a good look what exactly is inside that can.
I was trying to find this cause rubber parts on my old Minolta are quite oxidized. Tho interesting is, that I have one older (non-working due failed IS) and that has rubber in perfect shape. Cant figure how its possible, except maybe some rubber has simply much higher quality than other.

oops...only now discovered that the 280/4 APO also takes a polarizer...
will the 13340 or 13338 be the right one for this lens? There is a 14591 clear filter in the drawer right now.
I will stand in the queue after Carsten for filters up for sale

ok, I found it myself, the right one for the APO Telyt 280/4 seems to be the 13338 which is hard to find.

Hmm, car shots with the 180/2... I am not sure there is enough space in Germany for that, maybe I would need to live in Australia
I am sorta considering it. I now have two links to filters for about 200 Euro or so, but am wondering if it is worth it. Btw, what is that messy edge on the photo of your filter? I see that also on one of the links, and it looks horrendous...

Also from 35-70/f4, but in B/W (no further PS tweaks). This lens always produces very high contrast images, one of my favorite.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I can see it on my phone (Samsung) but not on PC browsers. Damn technology.

Erm. ?
I meant that one of the curved edges of the filter looks ragged. I am wondering if it is just some soft material along the edge there? Anyway, I ended up making a rash decisions and buying one here in Germany which cyra sent a link to. There is another interesting option in the States, but the import duties would make it more expensive. Thanks to everyone who sent links and information, this is really a great forum with great people!

I think it's the edge of a felt lining glued on to the inner surface that pads contact with the lens (my clear filter for the 280/4 has this, but it doesn't stick out a bit to form a "messy edge").

A bit crazy and oblivious comparison. All modern top-lenses better than leica. The choice only one: bokeh or near-ideal optical quality.
