UV filters for Dimage 7series?

[aong]

Hi all,


Wonder which UV filters ya pple using? I was using Hoya Super HMC (49mm) one, but I suffer from vignetting , etc.. so I'd changed to this Minolta UV filter, lower profile, just wondering if this filter is ok? comments? anyone used it as well?

I am presently using the Hoya Ultra thin Pro 1 ... no vignetting ... but quite expensive.

I am using the Skylight 1b ... which is about the same ... No it is quite good ... so not upgrading .. I think it is about S$40 ... can't remember ...

I do have a Cir Pl that is pro 1, HMC, Hoya but vignettes slight at full wide.. This is also a ultra thin ... I am willing to sell ... hee hee . It is the thinest that I can find ... I think it is 4mm thick with external threads .... interested ?

:cry: remember I was the one telling you in other threads abt eagerness ...

It is about 4 mm thick ... good quality but it vignettes.
