I would like it to have front threads to accomodate my cokin holder...and understand it should be thin for this wide angle. Margie

sugarzebra Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 04, 2006 13:28 | #2 I would suggest Heliopan, B+W or Hoya. Be careful with Hoya as there are four or five different types(quality) of CPL's....I would only buy the Pro-1D or Super Pro 1D (HMC). I bought the Hoya Super Pro and its very good, however does vignette in the 10-14 mm range on my 10-22 lens. Others report no vignetting so maybe its just my technique! Scott

Thank you, Margie I use Sigma's "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Multi-coated, thin and threaded.+1 same here. You can get it from sigma4less.com for about 100 bucks. The front does indeed have some threads on it, as you can see here:  moew!!!!!

Thank you all...I will check out those brands. My problem is that I picked up a Hoya thin multicoated filter the other day and didn't realize that it would be a problem that it had no front threads. I have a new cokin filter system for this lens and I cannot put it on without the front threads. Margie

I decided this morning to definitely take back the Hoya I purchased last week without front threads. Margie
