I am about to invest in the Lee filter holder system, Lee wide hood, and some very expensive filters.
I would naturally like to use the ND\'s and GND\'s with this lens.
I guess I could hand-hold the GND, but I\'d like to find a way to get the Lee system on this lens.
I thought the type-2 had a screw-on lens, as some website says this, but it does not.
What to do?
---------------------
One option would be to simply epoxy a Lee adapter to the front. The lens isn\'t all that valuable, but still this bothers me.
Luckily my lens came with TWO factory hoods (!) so another option would be to cut-away the front of one hood, so I can screw-on a Lee wide-angle adapter. This seems more logical, except:
1: The two screws that hold the hood to the lens are not very secure. I\'d hate to see an entire Lee system crash to the ground.
2: Someone would probably be very happy if I sold them an original factory hood. It seems a shame to destroy one.

What would you do?
