It was a moose. The problem with filters is that at the angle light goes through at the edges, the image quality suffers. The new 19 is much more compact, and has built-in filters (which I never use). But if I did want to use filters with it, and I might some day, Pete Stone of Portland Oregon has given me plans to take a second lens hood for the lens and reverse it so that it can be used as a filter holder. I have the second hood (came with the lens) ready to be adapted.
