Anybody buy a lens hood for their SLR Magic 12mm yet? I'm assuming the 77mm petal lens (the ones all over ebay) is the best bet. It's gonna look so huge on this lens!
 
No I haven't yet. What about a Fader ND? I've got a 12mm on order, and want to know what fader to get. The filter size says 58mm if I remember correctly, but a guy shot a video with a 62mm FND and there was some vignetting.
Do you know what size to get?
Thanks.

Yeah, unfortunately, you're gonna need at least a 77mm ND filter. I'll just quote exactly what it says on the little card that came with the lens:

Shooting with filters: Due to wide angle of view 77mm filters has to be used. Filters may be used with the optional lens hood, SLR Magic 58/77 RING.

So you'll need a 58 to 77mm step up.
