The only nitpick will be that the hoods are permanent, and the 10 & 12mm will have no filter threads.
SK Grimes does offer a service to remove the hood and anodize the part, they may be able to offer filter threads. |
I doubt that you can use filters on the 10 and 12 mm versions without vignetting, especially when used on A7 (FF) series. Even the lens hood (sun shade) is only a bad joke on my 12 mm version in order to prevent vignetting. It's more or less useless on lenses with such a wide angle of view, similar to many fish-eye lenses in existence. That is a general problem with all super wide lenses and not specific to Voigtländer.
However, there would be a special filter holder available from Voigtländer: Click here to see on Ebay. I think it takes 77 mm filters. |
That filter holder is for the first version that was LTM, the 2nd version had M mount and a bigger hood.

I think many would prefer a removable hood.
Would an 82mm filter vignette?
Or a large professional filter system from Lee or Cokin?
I also like the lens cap that comes with my CV15III _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...
