photophile Posted May 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello All : I just added a variable ND filter ( the heliopanvariograu ND 0.3-1.8 ) to my 50 lux (M). I knew the pull out hood would no longer work - but the snap on lens cap also fails to fit. Anyone have suggestions on 1) a slide on hood and 2) snap over lens cap. I rarely cover my lenses but they are usually protected by a lens hood of some flavor. Now...just a piece of glass leads the way. Less than ideal as I tend to to use my camera as a hardworking tool exposed to the elements. Thanks all. BTW - the ND filter works exceptionally well. Best, Coos Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted May 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 23, 2020 A neoprene lens cap or snoot might work. But surely, most of the time you will not using the ND filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photophile Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 23, 2020 Hi David - thanks for the neoprene concept. Had not considered that. A snoot...reverse maybe but no way obvious to attache it. And no...the ND has a limited use profile but want to protect it when on. Be well and will hope others have some suggestions as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
