[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 386338, member: 9240"] So you're getting vignetting with your filters[I]before[/I] you put the adapters on?! That's pretty significant, particularly on the 17-35mm. That's gotta be a thick filter. How deep is the ring? Most of mine are about 4mm beyond the end of the lens and I don't get anything like that on either the 16-35mm or the 24-120mm. Oh hell, I just checked - that filter is [I][B]17mm[/B][/I] deep (if it's [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/622172-REG/Singh_Ray_VNDISRM_77mm_Vari_N_Duo_Polarizing_Variable.html"]this one[/URL])!! That's actually quite ridiculous - particularly for a $390 filter (no wonder it "works"). I can stack 3 ND's and come in under that in both depth and cost. If I paid that for the convenience of an ND I'd have been rather perturbed. That filter alone vignettes worse than any filter I own with the Xume attached. When you do your review, I'd leave this one for last as an "oh, by the way, if you want to use a [I]really, really deep filter...[/I]", and base the review on a filter of normal depth. [/QUOTE]
