- The most likely explaination is that you used a wide angle lens/zoom
- position and the filter is causing vignetting at the corners..this
- is a common problem with filters and wide angle lenses, and
- you have to either make sure that the filter ring diameter is
- wide enough to stay beyond the corners of the frame, or get a step-up
- ring adapter . The reason for the corner vignetting is that the lens
- projects a circular imace on the film, and the circle has to be wide
- enough to includ the entire rectangle of the frame...anything that
- narrows the size of the circle will cause vignetting on certain wide
- angle lenses...oir any other lens depending on the situation, which
- is why we have different lens shade lengths for different focal length lenses.
