[QUOTE="Brian, post: 245123, member: 17621"] It's not that the filters are cheap, just some lenses have protruding front elements. Lens manufacturers often sell there own filters, and will take the lens design into consideration. Throwing any filter onto any lens that it screws into can cause damage. The Canon 50/1.2 in Leica mount comes to mind, as do many of my Schneider lenses. The 90/4 Tele-Arton: I'm going to make an extender. [/QUOTE]
