Originally posted by patrickw Hi,
I just put my 35mm 2.8 Macro limited on for the first time, and ran into an apparent issue: after attching a B+W MRC clear protective filter, the screw-on lens cap will no longer attach to the lens. (The filter is deep enough to prevent the lens cap from reaching its threads on the lens).
I guess the question is: do I need a thin wide-angle filter, or do I need a new lens cap? If anybody out there is using a filter on your 35 2.8, please let me know how you are dealing with the lens cap situation...
thanks...

IOW, why are you putting another piece of glass between your subject and such a fine optic?
Punt the "protective filter" and exercise appropriate caution with your lens.
