- I'm no expert, but I'll give this a shot. if you use the A-series filters
- and holder, you might run into vignetting at wide focal lengths (eg. 28mm
- and wider). at such a wide focal length, the filter/holder blocks part of
- your frame, and you may not see it in the viewfinder which doesn't cover 100%
- of the frame. a P-series filter/holder might help.
-
- I don't know if you have a wide-tele zoom. if you do, and you use the filter
- at the tele setting, then everything is fine. but when you zoom out to wide,
- you get vignetting. this may be why you didn't have a problem the last time.
-
- I'm assuming you have a wide-tele zoom wider than 35mm and that you use the
- A-series filters/holder. if this isn't true then I don't know what the hell
- is going on, and you can ignore me.
