The manual for the A*300/2.8 doesn't say that it requires a filter in there. I imagine if a place holder was required by the A*300, it would have been supplied along with the lens. I have a Sigma 300/2.8 that came with a filter in there. Also came with a polarizer that fit in there a pocket in

It looks nice for sure. The controls look awkward and would require 2 hands in a lot of settings changes however. I think DSLRs have evolved forward for a reason. I'm a huge fan of designs that allow one handed, eye level settings changes. On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 9:35 PM, John Celio
