    Weights 584 grams so plan ahead, carry only if really necessary. With a lens filter diameter of 72 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. 94 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag.
