Filters for Tokina 11-16

[Jet Nine]

Ok, so after reading many threads on "lenses for 7D" I managed to get hold of a Tokina 11-16.

Now, I'm curious about people's experiences with filters on this lens.

Good and bad experiences? Brands?

Especially when it comes to ND's for shooting video,.

Thnx

if you search the forum there is a post from Barry Green explaining why a ND filter should not be used on a wide lens. Don't remember if he was talking only about fader ND or any ND.

Hey Barry,

Can you add your two cents here? Thnx.

I do have Tokina 11-16 f2.8 with set of 77mm B+W filters (Circular-Pol, ND's 0.6, 0.9) and have no problems whatsoever. However there's light vignetting at wide end (it disappears at about 13mm) when using two filters at the same time, but that's due to my filters are NOT Slim Line.

EDIT: vignetting seems to be happening only with Circular-POL together with ND, otherwise no problems.
