Filter Adapter for 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikkor
« on: August 22, 2012, 10:51:59 am »

Just saw this and thought some of you might be interested. I haven't tried it but know that a lot of people have asked if there is one. http://fotodioxpro.com/index.php/fotodiox-pro-filter-adapter-145mm-for-af-s-nikkor-14-24mm-f-2-8g-ed-nikon-lens-filter-adapter-lens-cap-only.html

They also sell polarizers and UV filters to fit the adapter as well

Here is a user's experience from another site:

Re: Zeiss 21mm or Nikon 14-24mm
@Dave, if you keep UV's on your glass you may like to pick up the Fotodiox filter adapter and UV. I contemplated drop kicking it at first but after some use, meaning attaching/removing cycles, it gets both easier and faster with some wear in. Hold your judgment until you've had it on and off a dozen times or so. As with many lenses, after the shotgun honeymoon and tedious get to know you phase is over, with real knowledge of it's focusing behaviors, it's a strong performer through it's wide range. If you find the left or right edge softer, place it in the sky and bob's your uncle. As much as I'd like to have a full WA set of Zeiss primes, I find myself truly satisfied with the 14-24, more so now that I can filter it for sand/water, etc.

regards and good luck.

My friend has one, and I got to see it in person for a short while.

It seemed quite large. Too big to fit in a normal camera bag with it attached to the lens. Fitting it to the lens seemed to be a bit cumbersome, several pieces to put in the right order and then screw together. The metal rings scrape up against the lens barrel, so I'm sure you'll end up with marks on your lens over time as you use this.

It doesn't seem like something I'd want to use, even if I had the 14-24. I wouldn't really want a polarizer on a lens that wide, and I'd just have to learn to live without ND filters, or try to handhold them.
