Slim Filter UVa II E49 black ** The original Leica protective filter for Q, Q2, Q3 and all E49 lenses! ** Hey, you Leica enthusiast in the Engadine! Imagine shooting with your Q3 through the icy wind at Diavolezza, capturing street scenes in St. Moritz, or the landscape at Piz Bernina – and your front element remains protected without the filter causing vignetting or color distortion. The original Leica Slim Filter UVa II E49 black is the perfect, discreet companion for the Leica Q series (Q, Q2, Q3) and all lenses with a 49 mm filter thread. Extremely slim (only approx. 3.2 mm thick), black anodized, and with a high-quality multi-coating, it ensures virtually reflection-free visibility and neutral color reproduction. It blocks harmful UV radiation (for clearer long-distance views in the mountains), reliably protects the front lens from scratches, fingerprints, splashes, dust, and salt air – ideal for the harsh conditions of the Engadine. Thanks to its slim design and precise manufacturing, the 28mm prime lens of the Q series exhibits no vignetting – the image remains as crisp and contrast-rich as Leica intended. Simply screw it on and forget about it: your lens is protected, the optics remain unaffected – pure Leica enjoyment for street, landscape, and travel photography. **Technical Highlights:** - **Filter Diameter:** E49 (49 mm) - **Type:** UVa II (protective UV filter, high UV blocking) - **Height:** Slim (approx. 3.2 mm – ideal for wide-angle lenses without vignetting) - **Coating:** Leica Multi-Coating (low-reflection, scratch-resistant, dirt-repellent) - **Material:** High-quality optical glass, black anodized brass ring - **Special Features:** No color distortion, no noticeable light reduction, optimized for Leica Q, Q2, Q3 - **Compatibility:** Leica Q, Q2, Q3 + all lenses with a 49 mm thread.
