Filters and image quality

Taken literally that means a picture would suffer no significant absolute defocus at anything but macro distances of which RF use has no concern. One-third the depth of the filter is nothing for any subject from 3-foot to infinity.

 

Yes, that's what I wanted to imply.

The photo taken at Thailand with Elmarit R19 with a 82mm UV filter clearly

demonstrates the ugly vignetting at the four corners caused by the UV filter

Yes, but that is geometrical and has noting to do with the filter glass. The filter ring without glass would do exactly the same. A thin mount filter for wideangles should do a lot better.

Yes or filters with cut-outs (pics) if you can find one. Filter glass cannot cause vignetting like that.

I later found an ultra thin filter, the corner fall out is reduced, but still visible

Sorry i have no R 19 but i see that your pic above has been shot with a 5D2. I've got vignetting with other R wides (28/2.8 v1, 21/4) on the 5D1 as well and this has nothing to do with filters. Just remove yours and you'll still get some vignetting i bet unless your filter is not slim enough. Ever tried your 19 on M240? Just curious.
