How many filters on the 4/21 SA?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I have just a couple brief questions. Do you know if it's possible to use two filters on the f4 21mm SA without vignetting? Say, for example, a color filter and a polarizer?

 

On that note, do you know whose 39mm filters are thinner, the Heliopan slim or the B+W F-Pro?

 

Thanks!

The lens is vigneting already by itself and have some distorsion.

about the number of filters the best way is the old one "try and error". ;)

Think of the effect on the image of the refraction of all those very oblique rays going through two layers of glass! If looking for the best quality possible with a very wide angle lens I would remove even one glass filter never mind two, and use a gelatin if necessary.
