Ok so I got a polarizer at 77mm thinking I could use it on my 24-70 and my 70-200 with a step up ring. Now the issue I'm running into is that I cant use my hood with my step up ring on, the hood is to tight to go around teh 77mm (obvisously, but I didn't think of it beforehand) I tried to install it with my hood on and than with pressure pushing the ring, turn it, no luck. Anyone got a good way around this or am I stuck with hood vs polarizer?

Probably stuck. Also, at least on the 70-200, it's not that convenient turning the polarizer with a hood on.


Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

probably need to skip the hood when using the diffuser, or get one that fits the lens without a stepup ring. The hood makes it hard to use anyway as Bohdan has said.
