I need a circular polarizing filter for my Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens. Do I need to get a slim version? I bought the lens used and the seller included a Tama Ultra-Slim 77mm UV filter. Which brand or specific one should I get?

Also, I may want a neutral density gradient filter as well. Recommendations?


Thanks for any advice.

I have a B+W Kaesemann Circular Polarizer. If I remember correctly it doesn't vignette even at 10mm on my 10-22, but I can try tonight.

Please do. I looked at the slim version of the 77mm and people say it's good, but many complaints of not being to use a lens cap or that the included cap that comes with the filter is garbage because it falls off easily. The slim one is around the same price.

I just picked up one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Marumi-Super-Circular-Polarizer-Filter/dp/B003QSG0HK

but in a 67mm version for my Tamron 17-50. It's pretty slim, so it shouldn't vignette very much.

Good reviews for this one, but "it shouldn't vignette very much" isn't very reassuring. I do have a 1.6x crop camera, so maybe that helps too.

I haven't used it on an ultra wide, so I can't tell you how much or little it vignettes. What I was trying to convey in that post is that the marumi is a slim filter, and slim filters vignette less.

Also, I am happy with my purchase but I wish I use a cpl AND a lens hood

Okay, I'll try it out.

But are these two the same thing? I would get it from Amazon, but they don't ship this to Canada.

The first one is more expensive, but the only difference is the product name has "thin" in it the EXC+. The descriptions are the same. Seems like a listing error or something, but I strangely feel safer getting the one that's closer to the Amazon price. I only see one version on the Marumi website.


vvvvvvvvv poo poo, I didn't even see the new/used. Thanks!

Why get something like a Yongnuo instead of a Nikon or Canon flash? I see the word "manual", but how does that translate in real world situations? I don't know anything about the world of lighting, but I've been considering getting one of the Canon Speedlites.

Edit: sorry. I'll be reading the lighting thread as well

Well, I'm almost always using my camera in manual. I would only switch to auto if a time sensitive situation arises.

So the advantages of a first party flash only really come out if you use usually your camera in auto mode?
