Hmm. That's a bit of a kludge. I was thinking along the lines of rigging a slip on rig that would fit over the lens hood but I'd hate to depend on friction to hold a $100 filter in place. That wouldn't cure the vignetting either. > You'd probably have problems with vignetting on film, but on digital > maybe it wouldn't be such a problem. I'm pretty sure I'd get vignetting but I may have to try it. Digital? What's that? >HTH Thanks for the reply. It confirmed that I'm not missing something and that the hood is indeed permanently attached to the lens. Tom Reese
