Can I use this filter with B&W soft focus pro filter at the same time. Do I need to compensate ? Thank you.

Bernard is correct I think. Any modern camera that meters through the lens *should* be fine but you may not like the results and may need to adjust a bit.

Whether or not you need to compensate for exposure will depend on your metering system. If you have a recently new camera (DSLR or mirrorless) with metering through the lens the answer is probably no. You should do some practice shots however to see the results. You may want to use a compensation factor to fine tune your exposure but probably not mandatory. However, if you have an older meter (hand held) or on the camera body but not through the lens, yes you must compensate as you would with any filter not directly exposed to the meter.

I have no idea on using this filter with a soft focus at the same time; but yes, if it fits, you will have 1.5 stops at least to compensate.

I have used the clear filter and the polaroid filter. Neither had any effect on auto focus. I am pleased with the filter kit.

You should probably call the manufacturer. A quick search of Adorama and B&H does not reveal the answer (both sites carry this filter).

Hello Mark, I am not sure but in using this product it did not have the heft other filters have. It was a bit flimsy and you may want to use two together for better results. At one time I had bought a case of good pre-filters on ebay but have yet to find that brand again, tho I have not made a a thourough search as yet. Hope this helps.. :)

I used mine for B/W, but color is possible with post processing. The camera and lens combination makes all the difference. Not all camera and lenses work well with infared filter. My Nikon 3200 had a noticeable "hot spot" in the images. My Canon S110 point and shoot had only a minor hot spot. I strongly suggest that if you're interested in IR photography check out the web site Lifepixel. It explains all the ins and outs about IR photography.

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

Yes, it does. It's under the category of magic. Different filters and settings.

There must be some confusion here. My recently purchased B+W UV filter is 67MM, not 72mm. However, i have no vignetting with that filter on a 24mm, f2.8 lens, so I would doubt that it would be a problem on your 35mm, even though it's faster at f1.4.

Yes it is. The Sigma lens uses filters with standard thickness rim - which this B&W is.

You need both filters. I purchased the recommended pre-filters and they are not the same and my light is on to change the filter all the time. They may be working fine but they are different. I ordered the main filter and haven't received it yet so am not sure if it will work.

I did not see your filter in a cross reference search. Google "oil filter cross reference" and you should find some sights that will give you the filter you need if you want to stick with B&S.; It will also give you a lot more choices of other brand filters that will also fit your application.

When used on an 18-55mm lens, if placed outside of the filter at 18mm it will cause vignetting. If I placed the hood between the lens and filter, the filter would not properly fit inside the hood. From a semi-pro... pass...

I couldn't locate my cpl for this reply, but some other (AGFA) filters have as little as one to one-1/2 threads engaged. This is usually enough, providing you rotate the outer ring in the direction that always tightens the filter in the lens. I've never lost one---yet! Appears to be a good filter, though--smooth rotation.

Yes you can use this filter, they Just happen to be on sale at the time, + free shipping, they are interchangeable.

Yes, but you'd probably want to take the uv filter off before putting the polarizer on. There is no benefit to using both at the same time. And at least two reasons not to. First, it's an extra piece of glass in your optical path with more opportunity for image degradation and reflections between the pieces of glass. And, if you're using a wide angle lens (zoom or "prime") the extra filter mount may cut into the corners of your pictures. This is called "vignetting".

Yes, you can use your lens cap and hood. The filter has threads to grip the lens cap or you can even stack an additional filter. Keep in mind that you will need to remove the filter to compose and focus. You can't see anything at all through the filter. It is very dark.
