I was hoping the phrase "filters held on by lens hood" in the Collectors' Guide might be accurate but I looked at the lens again and it seems that isn't possible- the front bulges too much. The B+W wa filter sits over the front so it will work where a filter that went inside the hood would not. So it is B+W wideangle filters I suppose, or no filters. Joe Berenbaum
