Re: Testing the Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70mm f4 R Lens
I do this too. Not bothered about the range restriction for filters because if I\'m using 100mm grads / NDs or 105mm polariser it\'s always at 35mm on this lens. If I want to go longer I use either the 50/2 R Summicron or the 100/2.8 APO Macro with the appropriate 55mm or 60mm adapter ring. On a tripod, the 35-70 Elmar at 35 is every bit as good as a prime 35 R, as Erwin Puts notes in his book. As a walk around you have the additional flexibility of the zoom range but I don\'t use grads or polarisers in those circumstances.

I use an old thick rimmed B&W uv filter, that way even at 70mm the front thread of the filter is just exposed enough to fit a 60mm lee adaptor onto.
