wide angle filters
Hi Group,
I already have a 72mm wide angle polarizer filter. Would that work on 72mm telephoto lens? I guess what I'm really saying is: are there any differences between a normal filter and a "wide angle" one, other than the latter being made thinner by removing front threading? Thanks, Moe

If the filter ring size is the same you can use the WA filter on a longer lens, but not always the other way around. -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math

No problem using a filter on a longer lens as the angle of view goes down. Using any filter on wider lenses poses more problems, hence the various "thin" filters. -- -- rec.photo.equipment.35mm user resource: -- http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.--
