Black Pro-Mist...

Well I finally received my Tiffen Black Pro-Mist filter for my Q2...and after removing the UV and trying the Pro-Mist on for size and viewfinder check for change in values...began to wonder could I just leave the UV filter on? I would certainly be easier than swapping every time I wanted to use the Pro-Mist...or...leave them both on all the time? 

Anyone have some first hand experience? Its my first time using a 'diffusion' filter...not sure what the protocol is, or if there even is any, lol.

You can mount both the UV and the BPM filters at the same time. I do it all the time with my SL lenses.

Test ans see if you get artefacts from boucing light inbetween filters. I'd place the BPM nearest to the lens if you really need to stack both filters.
