Quote:If you have something like a 70-200/4 you probably have all the necessary specialized filters, and a simple UV filter shouldn't be too expensive - not compared to the lens itself, at least! But you'll be probably getting so much more of a lens in the 35/2 IS. Filter issue shouldn't be stopping you.Well, yes, my B&W 67mm pol. filter will be right at home on it. I was mostly mentioning the filter size to illustrate how much the lens has grown . And I do not use UV filters (even though I have a 52mm one, but that is from the film days).
For now I ordered a 20mm Voigtlander. I'll first see how bad the corners are of the old 35mm f2. And I want a large aperture (f1.2) 50 or 55mm lens. But after that it may well be that I will get a 35mm f2 IS USM. The Zeiss 35mm f1.4 is a bit too expensive for now. Or maybe a Nikkor 35mm f1.4 Ai(-S).
