Eureka!
I am told that there is a high end filter company working on a solution to the issue of filtering protruding front elements on select lenses. The 2 lenses in most need of filters are Nikon's 14-24 and Canon's 17mm TS-E. The solution should be available sometime in 2010.
It sounds easy enough to do, but the issue is flare, cost and most importantly; ease of use.
The source couldn't say which company at the moment, but it's coming soon.

what about rear filters? why doesnt canon/nikon adapt to this problem, most fisheyes have a filter wheel in the back, why cant the 14-24mm / 17mmTS-E?
“It sounds easy enough to do, but the issue is flare, cost and most importantly; ease of use.”
I never said it was actually easy. Some have commented in the past that it should be.
I think it is because the rear element of the 14-24 and the 17TSE is right up to the edge of the mount (sort of like the 85/1.2L) so there isn’t any space to put any sort of filter holder.
Mainly because two most important filters for a landscape photographer (polarizers and graduated ND) do not fit well in the back filter slot/wheel of a lens.

Sorry to shout but this is dumb, the whole “J.Sw@n” thing was over a long time ago and I still need to go through a proxy thing to get here.
SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT I NEED TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!
