The lenscap goes OVER the builtin hood/shade. Yes, a filter screws into the front end. I have a B&W MC UV on all my lenses and this one is no exceptioin. Standard screwin filter goes on, in the regular manner and stays on. Cap goes over the built in hood. This lens is worth every penny. Probably the single lens I would take on a trip if limited to one prime. Burt NYC USA - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
