I have to announce my presence!

Sorry. I am the proud owner of an unused silver M7 that I picked up for $2500 and a brand new silver 50' cron from Bel-Air Camera that I picked for the surprising price of $1695. Loaded up with Portra 400 and I'm ready to transition a part of my photography from Nikon shooting (D3,D2Hs, D200, etc. +GIANT pro zooms) to this incredible Leica world of photography that I’ve admired and dreamed about for so long.

I know talk of price is probably considered crass in this group but I'm as excited about the prices I paid as I am about the stuff itself. Okay, that's not true.

Question I have is this. Stuck in my old Nikon thinking I automatically asked for a B+W filter for the 'cron. Seems a little deep. Did I make my first faux pas? Should I have bought a Leica UV filter?

Anyway, GLAD to be here.
