I decided to remove the small lugs (sorry, should I say 'dimensionally
challenged listpeople'?) from the lenshood of my 21 mm Asph. This allows
the lenshood to fit properly when a B+W filter is in use.
Of course I only use filters for colour correcting flourescent light when
snapping with slide film. Honest. I have two Hoya Filters (FL-D and FL-W)
and these had the same problem. Interesting to hear that it isn't common to
all Hoyas.
