Mike's message has no smiley, nor <g>, nor any other apparent mood
indicator, so I'm not sure what his comment means. Its been quite a few
years, but I remember both the 40 and 90 for the CL having those collapsible
rubber shades that collapsed without apparent warning, and that the lenses
would have taken standard E-39 filters, had I ever used them.
I should add that I am a big fan of a clip-on shade for all lenses which are
rigid enough to protect the front element from various intruders, yet will
protect the lens's structure by absorbing a significant bump as it breaks
away. I do not use filters for lens protection.
