FX1 Z1 Polarize filter prob question

I currently have the sony MC Circular Polar filter. I'm wondering if there is another polar. filter out there that fits that might allow me to install the orig lens hood on with the filter on after I have set the angle. Quite abit of my shooting entails shhoting on the water, but there are times where the sun angle needs the protection of the hood. I'd even consider modifying a second hood if they were of reasonable cost.
Tried the w/a hood but no go either.
Any thoughts?

I have asked this question and been told to get a matt box. I agree this is disapointing. Also if you get the Sony wide angle you can not us it at all!

Yep Noticed that too , The Sony UV fliter, I also noticed does not have threads on its outside, so you must remove it when using the the W/A , but with the weight of the W/A i guess you need all the thread you can get.
But the W/A lens is great I noticed very little if any distortion even zooms thru great.
But here in sunny/watery FL. I could get away with leaving the Pol on almost all the time outside. I'll figure out a way , without the matt box, too much $$ for my needs right now.
I'm gonna look into how much the hood costs, and see about modifying one, or keep looking for another 72mm polarizer.
