1 Ultra-wide, large-aperture lenses typically have an integral hood that precludes the easy fitment of filters. This lens gets around the problem by featuring a stubby integral hood, which really only gives a little protection to the bulbous front element. You can only use screw-in filters rather than a filter holder.
