Should have added that I was worried -  my only decent 52mm UV filter  
is a heavy Heliopan that I had on my DZ 50/2 - thought I might have to  
buy a slim one. But no vignetting (only just). I think either a slim  
Pol or a step up ring and 58mm Pol might be necessary.
And it has a strange and expensive rectangular hood which seems to be  
unobtainable outside Japan - LH55B. Any clues on a source?
