I didn't realize they offered such an item. Reminds me of the caps for the Nikon lens hoods (what? you mean you don't know about Tupperware 16oz. tumbler lids?) <<B&W filters tend to be very deep and probably won't fit inside the hood. >To make it fit, you could grind off some of the filter's front thread.>> It doesn't appear to be the thickness from front to back that's the problem but the outside diameter. The hood appears to have plenty of room to accomodate a thick filter, just not a very wide one (it's probably designed around a Leica filter).
