does anyone know where I can get a replacement filter for this lens? since the lens is no longer made, I'm having difficulty finding one. drop-ins from the newer telephotos won't fit due to a different holder. Any help would be appreciated.

Don are you looking for the actual tray or the filter itself? Isnt the filter just a 48mm UV filter (52mm on the newer lenses)?
Googling "canon 48mm drop in filter" I got a few hits. Amazon says they have them in stock with the holder:

Thanks Robert. Since I posted I also found several places that have it. I need both the holder and filter. Apparently, the filter is part of the optical design of this lens and consequently doesn't focus well without it.

The link I included is for the holder and filter for sale.
