Schneider Optik - 72mm Slim Circular Polarizing Filter
by Makoto Honda     December 30, 2007                                                             Back to Notes on Photography

I was looking for a PL filter (72mm) that does not vignette the corners when used at 18mm on my AF Zoom Nikkor 18-200 mm lens.   This $200-plus filter from Germany will do it?

There is no frontal threading on this filter.  You must use a slip-on cap provided with the filter, if you want protection.
