Tokina 11-16mm filters

Hi,

I recently purchased the lovely Tokina 11-16mm and I stuck on which B+W filter to buy. I hear the the regular filter is too thick and will vignette on the tokina, especially at 11mm.

Can someone tell me the difference between these two filters? Both say they're thin but I'm assuming the 007 one is thinner, but that still doesn't help because the price point is nearly the same.
Thanks,

I don't know about those filters, but I have that lens too, and I can tell you:

* I originally bought a standard 77mm UV filter, and yes, it vignettes (I don't remember if it did so at 16mm, but it sure did on the 11mm side)

* I then bought a thinner filter, designed for wide lenses, and this one didn't have that problem... but I hardly ever use it: it has no front thread for further filters, and that means you can't put a cap on it, which makes it really unconfortable to use: every time you want to take the camera back into the bag, or do anything that would usually require you to put the cap back on the lens, then you have to unscrew the filter, put it back on its case, and put the cap directly on the lens; then undo all this when you want to shoot again; as a result, I only put the filter on that lens when it is really, really indispensable
