Hi John, I don't use filters on mine very often however I do have a 67mm filter ring (glass popped out) permanently screwed to the front of the lens as a short hood and to provide some additional protection to the fairly vulnerable front element. I do often also use the standard metal hood (MH-RB67 part #34130) screwed to the front of this filter ring and the assembly doesn't vignette.
