It depends on the diameter of the Zeiss hood, not filter thread. If the diameter is less than the Nikon hood diameter, it should be eiter fit straight on or fit with a small modification. All depends if the Zeiss hood is smaller than Nikon.

This is what I was referring to. Not the filter thread, but the diameter of the Zeiss hood, which should be LARGER than the filter thread since the outside of the hood is "outside" ergo wider than where the filters would screw onto. This is why I'm thinking that it just might be the same size as the Nikon...since the Lee Holder for the Nikon 14-24 fits onto the Nikon's hood, and NOT onto the filter thread.

I guess one would just have to try it.

The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens has a front diameter of 98mm. The filter size of this Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 is 95mm, but with the width of the built-in hood taken into consideration, it might possibly make the actual front diameter (including the hood) close to 98mm as well.

I only saw reference to the filter thread sizes. I would expect the hood diameter to be quite a bit bigger than the filter thread. Have to wait and see
