So basically you can use any of the 2" filters that we use in our scopes for use in the 300mm as well, is that right or did I missunderstand?

I knew about the drop in filter on the 300mm but I thought it was only for geletin type filter usage.

And Bert, am I right that your lens is the non IS version? (from memory).
