Will this hood attach with a filter, or two, (UV &amp; Pol) on the lens? And will that cause vignetting?

It will attach with a filter on, as it doesn't screw into threads in lense.I haven't had the vignetting problem with it.

The UV filter protects the lens while the lens hood keeps unwanted glare from the lens (and probably adding another layer of protection).

This is merely a lens hood that will thread into your lens with a 58mm diameter, or into a filter attached to the lens that is the appropriate size. No filter is included. It will work well with a haze filter or a circular Polaroid filter

This is a bayonet mounted hood and should mount fine with a filter attached to the lens.

It's not the camera body that makes a difference it is what mm the lens is. So match the "mm" number on the hood with the "mm" number on your lense(s) to find out if it will fit and yes, you can have filters on the lens with a hood on. :)

Yes you will see vignetting near the 24mm range and maybe in the 30mm range. If you use the polarizing filter take off the UV filter first. You do not need both on and the more you stack the worse the vignetting will get.

It is best to not use a clear filter. A UV/clear filter can indeed affect image quality, particularly when the sun is in the frame. This can result in some rather un-attractive flare and blobs. As long as you keep the hood on when shooting, the front element should be protected, unless you are unreasonably hard with your gear.

Yes, definitely the thing to do . I'm using mine on a 49mm lens. It stops the filter vignetting by having it bigger than the lens.

So... these filters serve two different purposes. The UV filter that I purchased is on my lens to protect the first element when I'm in situations that require me to be less than 100% diligent about where my lens is. A hood serves the same purpose so I supposed it is kinda redundant redundant... The Circular Polarizer is designed to reduce glare coming off of non-metallic surfaces. It can add "pop" to landscapes and cloud scapes much in the same way that polarized sunglasses do for your eyes. They do reduce the amount of light that makes it to your sensor and you'll need to take this into consideration. Hope that helps.

I used the hood to protect the front element as I didn't like running a UV filter. You can find the hood on eBay (not Sony brand) for less than 150. They even have rangefinder leica style hoods

Robbie, did you get the filter? Will your lens cap and hood fit over it? I would like to leave it on all the time.

I'd suggest no hood neither filter for protection... the lens is tiny and so cool/usefull like this... the front glass is small and there's almost no risk for a damage...

It will fit the lens itself, not the filter, so you would first put the lens hood on then the filter on the lens hood. Hoped this helped you!

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

Yes, you can add a lens filter either before or after the lens hood, but you do have to be aware of the possibility of vignetting depending upon that placement.

I don't use a lens hood with this filter. It's not really needed as the filter provides protection for the lens.

I'm using it on a Nikon zoom lens with 58mm threads, As the ad mentions, it does show slight vignette when extended, but I was able to remove some of the material on the hood that was causing the vignette with a file.
