I'm sorry if these are dumb questions, but I'm very interested in the lens above, BUT have real worries about the drop-in filters. I don't understand how they work, logistically, not optically.
The filter "holder" goes into the lens, but does it lock into the lens so it doesn't fall out? I'm looking at pictures of it and reading about it, and I'm just not sure. Information is really scattered, with some posts suggesting the holders fall out.
The actual filter itself cannot be changed so that one drop-in "holder" can be used with multiple filters? Am I getting that right? Basically, Nikon sent a clear filter in a drop-in holder with the lens, and if you wanted a polarizer, you went out and bought a different holder with its CPF. If I have that right, a CPF is now more expensive than the lens?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
