A long absence from me, due mostly to my A7R having to spend time with Mr Sony getting a replacement sensor glass fitted under warranty. Now thankfully back in action, and here's one from a weekend trip to the coast where I tried out my Heliar 15mm III, now lacking its hood which allows use of my Benro filters - very pleased with the mod! John Beautiful image! I would love to hear more about the mod on the lens hood! Where did you have it done? Any pics? Been thinking about doing this myself . . . Bob, this was a home job, after consultation with an engineer friend, and much trepidation. The photos below show the sequence applied to my 21mm Ultron to which I gave the same treatment. In retrospect it was straightforward, despite the nerves, and while I'm waiting for the right stepping adapter, it looks the Benro 100 mm filter holder will provide full coverage even on the 15 mm, which is brilliant. Regards, John

Beautiful job and thanks for a desription of the process. Now to find someone who can do this for me! How do you like the Ultron?
