The filters screw into the lens hood, which is a clamp-on affair.
I bought my lens from KEH without a hood. I then bought a new
hood from B&H, along with one of the newer Tamron 82mm lens caps,
the kind with the squeeze-to-release doohickey in the middle, and
I haven't taken the hood off the lens since. The hood is not
cheap, but I don't remember exactly how much I paid. I think it
was around $50.
Nice lens, though. It's great for that little bit extra the Zuiko
21 won't cover. Enjoy.
