Does anyone know which filters, if any, come with the mirotar 500/8? I know

that they are drop in filters. also could 82mm filters be used on the front of

the lens. and lastly does anyone have any experience using one of these lenses

on a canon dslr.

 

thank you

I'm not sure that this has drop on filters, the UK Contax camera website confirms 82mm regular front filter thread for the F8 cat lens but does not mention drop in filters in the spec

I used to have a tokina 500cat lens that came with a 2 stop ND and 3x B&W filetr set, these simply screwed into back of lens and were not drop in filters - the huge fat design and rear close fit to the camera body would make it impracticle to access a rear mount drop in filter slider/hatch

so maybe only the 500/4.5 has the drop in filters? thanks for the link Mike.
