In fact, the factory literature of the day noted that filter use with this lens was not recommended - despite the incorporation of filter threading. My own limited experimentation resulted in the filter glass touching the font element of the lens. However, Lee now has a 4"x4" resin filter holder that I'm going to try out as soon as I get a chance to cart the lens over to the supply shop. I would use filters for color correction under fluorescent lighting.
