Lluis,


i use the 49 mm filter which fits into the filter holder of the 12505 hood. 
?As you know the lens does not have any filter threads and uses Series 7 
filters. ?When I got my M8 they did not make these, but now they do, but the 
49 mm filters are the same diameter as the series 7, so they work.?
