The CV 21/1.8 is sweet. I really like it on my M. I don't find the integrated hood to be at all objectionable, and I've rarely had trouble adding or removing filters (Solid NDs) in the field. The CV approach is preferable, in my view, to the Leica 21mm Summilux which costs almost 6 times as much and requires special filters that are hard to find.

Using ND grads would obviously be tougher, but I am not a fan of those for landscape photography. They seem to be too blunt an instrument that can't really account for trees, mountain peaks, and other objects than end up getting too dark with the filter attached. I prefer to rely on the DR of the digital file (be it Nikon or M240) to extract the detail I need where i need it.
