The filter situation does hold me back. But the WATE and stack mod isn't cheap.....and technically it is lighter than the primes that I have covering that range. I don't have any zoom wider than 24mm.

Of course if it needs to be a single shot, sometimes the required F-stop overides all other considerations. But if you are regularly stopping down that far, there are probably cheaper/smaller/lighter options that produce IQ that's not too far from the Sigma.
Hi Tim,
Good luck on that. I am still going to use my Leica M WATE for its size, weight, and compactness, filter options (particularly now with my Sony A7rII Kolari Ultra Thin sensor camera).
The Sigma is still larger and heavier than I would personally like, and I am not overjoyed with the filter options for the lens.

Hi Tim,
I certainly wasn't suggesting that you do what I have/was doing. In my case I have owned the WATE for some years as well as other M-mount wide angel lenses that would benefit from the UT modification of a Sony A7rII that I purchased for that purpose.
