Great work!
Is there any vignetting with Lee 100mm filters?

@NoiseJammer
I believe the idea is to mill the petals while the hood is off the lens. And to mount it back afterwards.

Thanks for the how-to. It looks like removing the hood from the ZE 2,8/15 (or the ZF) removes the filter threads too… Is there a lot of point if you’re left with no mounting arrangement for filters or filter holders? (Personally, I think CZ goofed when they limited the photographer’s options with this lens.)

@Ethan – Edmund Optics has several models. I use this one… http://goo.gl/STiFe .

Roger, you’re a brave man. Perhaps not as brave as the first Frenchman who discovered snails were edible, but you’re a brave man.

Hi Bluto,

Where did you get the a lens wrench with the single bar type? Do you mind provide the link? Thanks in advance.

I’d be interested in a way to do the same thing to the DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED , so as to use it in a full frame camera.

noob question: why isn’t the lens hood removable like with every other lens?

Great stuff, not that this lens was on my shortlist but the fixed hood was an insane decision.

Nqina,

I never have. I think Canon was showing someone the insides of the camera and saying they couldn’t take pictures. I don’t think anyone could stop a person from taking pictures of equipment they own.

I meant to say release, not realise in the second last sentence.
