Re: need help; broke my SD15 internal filter/dust cover

I remember a thread from a few years ago.  Somebody tried the various dust protector filters on Sigmas they were not intended for.  Colors were slightly different.

Two things:  If the SD1 filter fits, try it and if the broken filter is just cracked all the way through it might not be possible to see the crack in actual images, at least until the replacement becomes available.  This is because the filter is very close to the front of the mirror box.  Any crack ought to be so far out of focus it is invisible.

Of course I have been lucky not to have this problem so I'm just guessing...

It's always scary for me to do anything with that dust protector filter.
