I tried using a Cokin A series filter holder with mine and the lens wasn't happy. The focus motor just made lots of noise and couldn't move the weight.

So, I picked up cheap 49mm CPL and ND filters instead.

I do love the lens hood. With it on you don't need to be concerned with leaving the barrel extended.

I wouldn't use a massive filter holder for it - I've my 17-40 for that. It works fine with my polariser though, despite all the adapter rings.
