I’ve shared this information elsewhere but thought it might also be helpful to FM members who own this lens and want to use the OLLUX hood with a UV filter.
Unfortunately, the ultra slim EINS filter does not work with either hood. Despite being thin (1.1mm), it shifts the lens pin position, preventing proper attachment of the hood. However, if you want to use a UV filter with the OLLUX, you can place a B+W 43mm UV filter upside down inside the lens. The hood attaches without any issues, and the filter stays in place once the hood is on.
This method is safe and does not risk contacting the lens front element. Just reverse the filter so that the rear threads are on top. The slim B+W filter fits perfectly, though I haven’t tested other UV filter brands. It leaves no marks on the lens and has worked well for me many times with the OLLUX.
Here are some images showing the B+W UV filter (43mm) in the reversed position inside the lens, and with the OLLUX hood attached.
This is nice only that I need to find a 43 b+w filter
