I had this problem with the square hood for the 35mm Summicron. A few minutes parring down this plastic ridge by scraping it with a sharp knife was all that was needed. You may want too look at your lens hood and see if this is the problem. Take it off the lens and try putting your filter through it to see what is inteferring.
