The filter that works with this lens is the 82mm B+W wideangle filter (or filter holder with separate glasses). But it is big, you can't use the very narrow hood that comes with it because it still intrudes, and it looks a little conspicuous. But it works. I just used this combination to photograph some interesting angles of a crumbling and overgrown Victorian graveyard and I am currently hopping from one foot to the other (metaphorically speaking) while Argentum in London process my Ektachrome Infrared films with the "modified E6" process which gives much more subtlety than the normal E6 processing with this film. I think I may have some goodies. If B+W do a circular polariser version of the above filter, you may wish to be seated before looking at the price list.
