Hi there,
as a b/w photographer using G2 with some lenses I wtb a hologon 16mm lens - which is, in contrast to all other g-lenses - without possibility to screw filters in (?).
So - has anybody here experience in using hologon with filters? If so, what size and how to *adapt*?

thanks for answers and greeting,
Dieter from Germany.

No filters are threadable on the 16. The center filter is a rectangular item, that you might be able to have adapted somehow to another type of glass? Deep pockets would be needed...

I get so much reflection from the centre filter with chrome film I never thought about B&W filters.
Should be possible to bodge something, I'll think and report, a pola filter may be practical.

Either you have someone who can mill a custom made adaptor for you or you mill it yourself. The adaptor should be a mix of bajonet and screw in for 72mm filters - smaller ones might cause vignetting.
