How have others used filters on this lens? >Bob Marvin I have hand held a 60 mm orange filter in front of the 15mm. Not always with success, but often enough to keep me from using the sort of devices you are thinking of. But I have never shot with the sun in the back shining directly on the filter. Also I am worried about scatching the filter. But if you just need the filter occasionally, try to hand hold it (and hold it as centered as you can!).
