Hi all!

I need to pick up one of these lenses but wonderd what filter solution there may be once I get it? Do any of you have one or know of any solution?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Yep, Lee filters are launching a system for just this very lens later this month after nearly 2 years of waiting.

Nice timing ;)

That's the one!

Last time I checked the Lee website it was due to start shipping this month.

Not specific to this lens, but blue tack all the way. Not technical, not elegant, but if you're in a jam it's better than nothing at all.

I'm a little bemused that there is no more compact offering given the lead by the lens cap supplied?

But that seems to be the only option :thumbs:

Cheers all!

You can fashion a fitting with Cokin X-Pro filters which are 130mm wide. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lozzmann/4108074855/ also this one (http://lozzmann.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-home-made-cokin-x-pro-filter-rig.html)

Some good info there Simon. Thanks for that, might have to go and find some 100mm pipe :)

Would it be possible for some clever person to fabricate a rear-mount filter for this lens? If there's room in there, you only need a couple of mms. Canon 17-40L has a rear-mount fitting, but it's only suitable for gels as standard.
