I wouldn't assume that any given filter adaptor will fit this (older version) lens because it has a filter thread. I tried a Lee filter holder on it and it wouldn't go on at all because of the mounting studs for the lens hood, which are top and bottom on the outside at the front, very close to the front edge. The only filter holder that I know of that actually fits is the B+W wideangle filter holder, which takes rimless circular glass filters, not much good for moving grad filters up and down. But there might be others I suppose. PS you could always just hold filters in front of the lens, Art Wolfe style. Joe B.
