Dsauro Posted July 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 8, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all This is most likely a silly question....but here I go I just purchased a new 1.4 28 ‘lux. I also purchased an orange and 4 stop ND filter. When I tried to screw in the filters after taking off the lens hood, I noticed another “blank” screw in filter/filter ring. I had to remove this ‘ring” to reveal the inner threads in order to screw in the orange/ND filters. my question, when I’m not using a filter, should I replace this Filter ring? I guess I’m asking what is the purposes of this filter ring? To protect the threads? Other? The lens hood screws on just fine with/without the filter ring thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted July 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 8, 2020 It does protect the threads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsauro Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted July 8, 2020 Thanks.. living in the Las Vegas area with the wind and dust, probably good practice to keep it on when not using a filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
