So I have received my lens
Almost to date at the darkest day of the year,,, So far I'm happy with the look and feel of the Architecture Eye
First surprise was the very familiar look of the front bayonet mount and sure enough it's a perfect match to the Beast 28-70mm AFS 2.8 and yes the Lens hood HB-19 slides right on
It will just need a tiny trimming to lock at the right point since the original lens cap LC-K101 has a small locking hatch.
I'll trim it to suit my most used shift & tilt requirements - by the looks of things it will be able to give a lot more protection than the bare glass front Eye,,,
Another possibility is to use a Lee Filter Wide Angle Bellows Lens Hood mounted on the HB-19,,, A little more old school look
