Reich, you live in Portland, right? I might have one or two cameras cameras that would work for you. I could just meet up and give them to you in person.

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 just picked up one of these:

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

So during my trip to Europe I gave my camera to my friend for a couple shots and apparently he manhandled my tamron 17-50 so much that now the zoom ring sticks and I hear a clicking sound when i zoom from 17-24mm. Moreover, the zoom ring sticks in different places and i'm afraid to use it for fears of damaging my lens any more.

Has anyone had any experience with sending their lenses to tamron for repair, and how expensive was it? My equipment is insured, but I have a $100 deductible and I dont know if it would be worth it to file a claim and spend $100 when I could get it repaired for $150. Any advice?

I've had really great results with the Marumi CPL. It has great reviews and it's pretty inexpensive to boot.
