Hey guys,

Im going on a cruise in 4 weeks :lol: and am bringing my brand spanking new 40D :lol::lol::lol::lol:, and my Sigma 10-20/ Tamron 28-75.......my question is this.....I intend on using circular polarizers on both lens'. Does anyone also put UV or some kind of protection filter on in addition to the cir pol?

Thanx!

Nope, use a UV when you aren't using the polariser but don't shoot through both.

Right. I see them as "either/or". Also take a look at the Protective Filter FAQ.

Either/or. Can find issues of vigetting if using too many filters at once, especially on FF or UWA/WA lenses.

Stacking filters when there's no good reason to do so (as in combining the creative effect of two filters) is just asking for reduced image quality due to flare, loss of contrast, etc.
