55-300 PLM ~ filters

Is anyone able to confirm if using 62mm filters (with step up ring) will allow the lens hood to still be used? Thanks in advance.

I tried, but a 62mm filter is too big for the lens hood

Thanks, that's good to know. I'll order 58s and deal with the (quite) minor vignetting when using on the 28-105 (on aps-c).

Another possibility would be to use a generic screw 62mm hood on the filter itself. But it won't beat a true 58mm filter with original hood.

I use 58s that still give me a hard time with the hood, I have a couple MeFOTO 58 CPs that have a knurled edge that extends just a little past 58, you'll have no problems with a smooth edge.

Thanks for all the speedy help, I've gone with the 58s.
