Wide Angle Vignetting with Filters - How to Avoid it.

You know how sometimes you get a bit of vignetting when using a filter on a wide angle lens? If you used a step-up ring and a larger filter, that wouldn't be a problem. Sound reasonable?

It does sound reasonable, but it may or may not be true. :)

It depends. Using a Cokin or similar system would help eliminate vignetting. Ultrawide angle lenses will sometimes vignette even with the very thin screw on filters.

it happens to me sometimes. I either leave it in for effect, or crop it out.

Actually, during the film days, Olympus put filters in their two fisheye lenses. There was a wheel edge on the barrel that one either left the clear glass in place or rotated in a colored filter. What was nice about that is the filters were a part of the actual lense design (no distortion) and the filters were always with the lense.

That is the way I do it .....costs more - but safer ......

That will work, Jerry, as long as the step up is wide enough and not too thick.
This is an improvement, IMHO, over the thinline filters which have no threads for a cap (the press-on ones never stay put!)

In our world of 5" x 4" we have the option to purchase/use a filter for wide-angle lenses the grad grey, which has a grey centre feathering to clear at the perimiter. This balances-out the darker corners on the film image. Quite costly though.
