My apologies for bumping this old thread, but I recently got this lens myself without thinking about the use of ND filters and polarisers down the line and now I'm paying the price. I've been toying with the idea of getting the STC filter holder, but I wanted to know which one of your goals it didn't fulfil? My main concern is vignetting. Also, have you consider re-creating your makeshift mould for others who might be interested in commissioning you for it?

Vignetting... larger to carry around,  more expensive, must remove lens from camera to remove the STC filter holder, has some user safety issues about how you remove it, by not removing the filter from the filter holder first or you risk scratching the lens....

Don't think I'm too interested in making these for others, it's pretty simple as I've demonstrated. Don't be too intimidated, it's pretty simple to do yourself.

The Sugru holder works well, going on 6 months, has been traveling around the world...
