If it\'s 103mm wide with the push-on cap in place, as the specs indicate, then I might have a chance to use my grad filters after all. When I had the Contax N 17-35, I bought a custom holder from Lee to fit that lens\' 102mm outside diameter (Lee didn\'t seem to have a 95mm solution at the time). For the 15/2.8, I would just need to macgyver something to block the light coming from the side and behind then somehow find $3000 and everything will be good!
How about some brave individual cuts off the hood? Doesn\'t look like it would be too difficult to do, unless you want a very neat finish.
Yeah! As soon as I get my new Zeiss I will put my dremel to use.
Sure why not Now I\'m off to buy a dremel and get some practice while I save up for the lens.
I\'ll start saving towards a third the price of the lens, so I\'ll be ready to jump on the FM Buy & Sell sales for \"Distagon 15/2.8, one side of hood missing, small nicks to front element should not affect picture quality\"
