I just picked up a Hoya 49mm circular polarizer. The question I pose to you
is this, I use Hoya Skylight 1B filters on my 55mm and 135mm lenses. I've
read that with wide angle lenses you shouldn't use additional filters with
the polarizer. But with the 55mm and upwards am I at risk of vignetting if I
use the skylight as well as the polarizer?

Shouldn't have a probelem - but film is cheap - try it on a few shots
and see for yourself.


Firstly I put the polarizer right over the skylight, but then thought if I
put the skylight over the polarizer it would be good for protection mainly,
but also warming the image slightly since the polarizer loses a stop or
two..


Love CPs - I do use a skylight or UV filter when not using a "fancy"
filter - just makes sense - the one guy responded he never ruined a
lens - good for him - I'm not rich so a small amount of protectiojn
doesn't hurt - and if I don't want the skylight filter on for the shot
- I take it off, shoot, put it back on.

Now as for a CP and a skylight together - I don't think the skylight
does much for you, and doubtful you'll see any difference with or
without it - but then again - take 2 shots of the same composition,
shutter, and f-stop settings - both with the CP, but one with the
Skylight - see if you see any difference that's worth the effort.
