While the 18/3.5 is a brilliant optical design (especially considering when
it was released), I think the mechanical design is pathetic. The
hood/filter ring should have been part of the lens body not a fiddly screw
on accessory which had to be purchased separately. I just can't think of
any situation when I have needed to use this lens where the hood/filter ring
had to be removed. Also the slip on lens cap (same as for the 16mm fisheye)
is also cheap, crappy design and manufacture.
