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. Regards, Malcolm Singapore
