Does the SEL1018 lens require a slim line filter, or would a B+W F-Pro filter work without vignetting?

to be frank, i don't pay special attention to my filters, but i buy them solely based on the purpose (polarized, neutral density) and have not notice vignetting

Hi Peter, mechanical vignetting happens when a the beam of light coming from an object is block by external objects like using a thick stack of filters or improper hood lens. Using a slim line filter will not produce vignetting on this Sony lens. -Ely

I returned an SEL16 and got an SEL20 instead. I would guess the SEL20 is 1 - 2mm thinner than the SEL16. When some people report the SEL20 is thicker, they are counting a removable plastic lens hood that comes included with that lens. this detailed review describes both lenses: http://kurtmunger.com/sony_nex_20mm_f_2_8id345.html

Yes, you can use an FE lens on an E-Mount camera that has an APS-C sensor. The image in the center of the lens is automatically cropped to the APS-C size so there are no dark corners surrounding the picture to cause vignetting.

This is a great filter - but whether or not to use it depends on your camera. If you're using any Nikon digital, you're good. And it should work fine with other digital cameras - Canon, etc. There may be one out there that is slightly thinner giving you a lesser chance of vignetting at 11mm. The Hoya 72mm DMC PRO1 would be a good choice. Slim for sure and I've had good luck with Hoya filters.

I couldn't locate my cpl for this reply, but some other (AGFA) filters have as little as one to one-1/2 threads engaged. This is usually enough, providing you rotate the outer ring in the direction that always tightens the filter in the lens. I've never lost one---yet! Appears to be a good filter, though--smooth rotation.

If your filter has threads on both sides like most of them do then you should be fine but you will get progressively worse vignetting the more you stack things. Unless you need the filter for some artistic effect you are better off without it. (Always.)

When used on an 18-55mm lens, if placed outside of the filter at 18mm it will cause vignetting. If I placed the hood between the lens and filter, the filter would not properly fit inside the hood. From a semi-pro... pass...

B&H; photo recommends a 58MM haze filter on their Fuji mirrorless cameras with 18-55 filter. If you have questions look up their website, their online staff is very knowledgeable. In my experience the B+W filters are better made (and more expensive). The threading for lenses is universal so you could go with Hoya or others

Only better if you already have other 58 mm filters..... if you already have other 67mm filters, then you should purchase the 67mm.I own (3) SX series cameras, & all three use 58mm filters...on purpose. I perfer a filter that obviously fits the 58mm lens barrel & not an over-size 67mm. I have had no vignetting problem with all the 58mm filters.

I use it on a Nex6 & found no vignette on any of my lenses. Works best on longer focal lengths. 135 MM in APS-C is, for me, the sweet spot.

My Lens adapter ring is 67mm and the filter holder inside diameter is approx. 1/2 larger than the adapter ring. I've used an 18-105 lens with the gnd's and haven't experienced vignetting, however, I haven't "tested" the lens for vignetting through the whole range of the focal length. I'm new to gnd's but with the large opening for the filter opening I don't foresee any problems with vignetting. So far I'm well pleased with the filter system, Hope this helps. Pete P.

The flash fits a 58mm filter thread. You need to determine the filter size of the lens with which you wish to use it and get a thread-in adapter to adapt to that size. If your lens is significantly bigger than 58mm (filter size) then you may get some vignetting if you try and adapt the light. In other words if you adapt to a smaller filter size than 58mm you should have no problem, but if you try to adapt to a significantly larger filter size-- 77mm, for instance-- you're going to get vignetting.

The manual focus version [PK(A) - NEX] works well, even the distance indication on the manual lenses is accurate, no vignetting. Also on tamron lens with PK ring. Can't vouch for this autofocus version but imagine it too would work.

The adapter and UV filter will probably cause vignetting at the wide angle setting of G10. Not fatal but to be considered.

No. This is a true Nikon hood. I can't answer to using with a filter, but there is no vignetting with the hood at any focal point.

I've owned both the Polarizer and 010M filter for the Canon 24-105 MM and can guarantee you will see vignetting at 24mm with the Polarizer and a slight darkening with the 010M (UV) filters. The slim filters are the way to go if you're going to be shooting anything at below 28mm. The B&W site goes into a bit more detail on what length vignetting becomes an issue but in my experiments with the 24-105 anything below 35mm using the Polarizer will vignette. If you're not planning on stacking filters (which is generally a bad idea with L glass anyway) I'd go with the thin filters and just change them out as needed. I leave the Slim Polarizer on my 17-40 mm about 85% of the time.

I use sigma filters on all of my lenses and have had no problems with smudging when cleaning. I use a nikon cleaning pen generally when I clean and all of my filters stay spotless.
