Hi Guys!

I have recently purchased a Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L lens and was wondering why a B + W 77mm Pro MRC UV haze filter is not able to be screwed in completely but the same filter can be screwed in completely (to the hilt) on my EF 16 - 35? Is this normal? Doe the filter have to fit all the way onto the thread?


thanks a lot?

Presuming it doesn't just stop ie it slowly starts to tighten.

If it is secure, then it will not affect the performance of the lens. If it were a long way out it might cause vignetting at the wide end, but it would have to be a long way I imagine.

Thanks Graham,

Sorted out the problem. Used another filter and it was able to screw in all the way to the hilt.
