[QUOTE="§am, post: 107306, member: 9187"] Someone with more knowledge will correct me if I'm wrong (hopefully), but from my understanding, if you have a wide lens, then you want a slim filter on there otherwise the height (size) of it will stop light entering from the edges, defeating the object of the wide lens and of course ruining your picture. So a 3mm filter is definitely a better option then a 5mm one. As for a UV filter on the outside of your polarising lens - I don't think you would need both (but again I could be wrong). Also if you did, for me personally it would make more sense to have the UV one on first, then just add the polarising when you need it. If you add the polarising one first and the UV second, then everytime you want to use the polarising one, you'd have to take the UV one off first (assuming you keep a UV filter on all the time), and when you do that, you introduce the possibility of dust getting trapped, dropping it etc etc. Hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
