In response to questions about the 300/f4 I have the following answers: 1. There are two filter holders for the 300/f4 filter drawer, on with a gelöatine filter holder one with a 30mm filter holder, which has thread for a screw-in filter. Mine came both with my used 300/f4. 2. There is a opinion about these filters, that you need to have one in all the time because it is in the optical system, but I found out over some years of using this lens extensively for wildlife shots, that this is not necaessary. I just keep a front uv filter on to keep dust, fingerprints and sometimes assorted wildlife off ;-) Alex
