Do you wear belt, suspenders, or both?
The users manual says nothing but filters on the lens. Is that to keep heavy
things like WA and tele adapters off it?
And/or to let the lens retract completely? How stupid are Panny's lens
designers?
Many users say things are fine after relatively long use without a filter as
spacer. Looking around, I saw no reports of
negative effects.
If you have the skills and tools, a thin spacer that fits over the hood threads
might be ideal. My digital caliper says
the lens is inset 0.43 mm, so 0.5 should be perfect. I'm thinking how I might
do that, and just glue it on the hood.
