I am using the sigma lens hood on the DP2M and it seems very effective, now I am about to buy a ND filter set and I have the usual two options:
1) buy a filter in the 49mm size that fits the lens and use the sigma hood with it
2) buy the filter in the size that fits my largest lenses (58 and 62mm) and then adapt to the different lenses with step up rings shading it with a rubber hood
I would usually choose the second option but I fear that a generic lens hood would be far less effective than the sigma one that seems really well designed
Furthermore the 49mm thread is shared with the upcoming DP1M and the X100s I already have, while the larger size would be needed for my m4/3 zooms (52mm for the 14-45 52mm and 58mm for the 40-150)
Any thoughts or experiences to share about?
Also I might buy a DP3M that has a 52mm filter thread and I am wondering if someone has already tried using 49mm filters on it and if it works well without introducing vignetting
thanks
