I have a 40mm 1.4 Nokton Classic and the Voigtlander LH-6 Lens hood.  The tolerance of the lens hood is so close that most UV filters will not allow the lens hood to be used.  I have an old Vivitar K2 that will fit the lens and allow the hood to be used.  Could someone suggest a new UV that will fit?

Hi Andrew,

I use a B+W 007 Clear filter (slim) with it and the hood attaches just fine. (LH-6)

I've found that Hoya filters allow the hood to slip over the ring.

Previously - when I used a generic screw-in hood - I used VHBW filters but the rings of these, like your Vivitar, are too thick for the LH-6 to fit so should be avoided.
