Steve Lane Posted December 14, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I have recently purchased into the T system, my first lens being the 11-23mm lens. I would like to use a circular polarising filter with it, but am concerned about vignetting when using it at the wide (11mm) end. Does anyone in the community use a polarising filter on this lens? If so, have you encountered any problems? I am considering the B&W brand as they seem to be well respected. My use of a polarising filter is not necessarily to deepen skies, as I am sure the effect will be uneven at the 11mm end, but to reduce reflections on water. BTW, I am loving the T system; I have been in the market for a interchangeable lens camera for around a year and, along with Leica, looked closely at Olympus, Fuji and Pentax systems. For my use the T is ideal so I look forward to adding lenses over the next couple of years. Given there are now six lenses available for the T, does anyone know if the roadmap is complete or are there rumours of others? I would like to see a longer 120mm telephoto make an appearance as I used to love shooting a 180mm lens back in my film days :-) Regards, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

floyd Posted December 14, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2016 Hi Steve I use the Lee Seven5 system and find vignetting is a problem between 11 - 14 mainly due to the adapter ring. Regards, Floyd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickP Posted December 14, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 14, 2016 I did a few test shots with a standard, 67mm B&W Polarizer on the 11-23mm T lens - set at 11mm .. yes this also vignettes a bit at 11mm. However, by the 12.5mm setting, it was gone. I am sure a slim model polarizer would alleviate this to some extent, but the extra cost is not worth it to me for the few times I run into this problem - also, it can be somewhat minimized with software, or, with a minor crop. B&W also lists a wide 67mm Polarizer which may help, but I bet there will be trouble fitting the hood if it is installed. And, it lists for around $200.
