I, personally, wouldn't bother. -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

Less than that really! :P But yeah, I wanted to be really weird and get all my lenses hoods and the same filter (Hoya Skylight Filters) but I'm just not keen on the whole idea of screwing it onto the filter thread thus possibly breaking it...seeming the lens isn't really built for brute force. But thanks for the advice guys! Work: CXSTLEdotcom

Mounted on a 50D I can barely put my left hand under it and I'm struggling to find a good balance to hold the camera properly. EOS 50D, 17-55mm/2.8, 28-135mm/3.5-5.6 IS, 70-200mm/2.8 L, 50mm/1.8, 600EX-RT

Mar 08, 2011 19:00 | #12 Does the 1.8 have a thin piece that protrudes slightly when focused like the 1.4 does? I got a hood for my 1.4 mainly to protect that.

And likewise regarding the compulsiveness...I'm just that one step sadder by wanting them to be the same brand of filter or what not haha Work: CXSTLEdotcom
