I recently purchased a Sigma 10-20 lens and am going to buy a Hoya Circular polarizer. Will there be any vignetting with the standard filter or would the thinner (and much more expensive) Pro1 filter be a safer bet? Has anyone got the above lens/filter combination?
Thanks
Steve
The pro 1 filter is thinner but as i remember it has no front thread so you would not be able to attach an ND Grad holder.
If your still in the market for a polorizer, consider the new Hoya pro 1 D (for digital)...it has a front filter thread. is better constructed than the pro 1, ie- better knurling for easier turning and a couple other features like black rimmed glass and anti refelctive coating on the frame..it's top notch..probably about the best polorizer you can get at the moment..regards, Rob.
I picked up a second hand Hoya linear for a few pounds from my local camera dealer and it works a treat. I thought I would give it a go and as I mainly manual focus this lens I saw no problem with not having AF. In the end it works treat and the AF works. To be honest I tend to use grads these days, but its handy to have.
I have not tried using grads and the polariser together though.
