Photography Question

Will vignetting occur with a 24mm lens?


I am considering buying a 24mm lens for use with landscapes, but often use graduated Neutral density filters in a Cokin "P" holder. Will vignetting occur? I plan on usinf a 77mm filter step up ring on the end of the len's 72mm threads, so that I can attach my current polarizing filter. I often have to zoom my current 28-135mm lens with the use of the filter holder to eliminate the dark corners, Any experience folks might have with this situation would be helpful.

  You seem to have it under control. The best solution to vignetting is simply to use a larger size filter, as you suggested. You can also buy special "thin mount" filters now, but no need for that if what you already have will work.

  Thanks Michael. I've been ale to solve the problem with my 28-135 zoom by using the zoom, which brings me out toabout 30mm. I will not be able to do that with a 24mm lens. Is there a larger filter holder/filter system for wide angle lenses? I currently use the Singh Ray rectngular filters in a "P" holder.
