16mm 1.4 fancy hood question

[ullmandds]

so I tried to put my b+w filter on my 16mm...and then my lens hood(the "fancy" dancy lh-xf16)...and it doesnt seem to fit with the filter on.

 

i was under the impression this was not an issue?

 

anyone else have this problem?

I have these fancy lenshoods for both the 16 1.4 and the 23 1.4 with Hoya protection filters on both(each is a slightly different model) on the 16, the fancy hood fits like a dream smooth as butter! Whilst the 23, the fit is quite tight.

 

It would seem that all filters are not equal with regard to outside diameter!
