Which uv filter are you using for your 16-35mm?

NONE...

I don't even own any UV filters (or any other clear filters). The only filters I use are for special effect such as a polarizing filter.

All I use for "protection" for my lenses is the recommended rigid lens hoods.

Any vignetting issues?

Are you going to be shooting in the rain? Because that's about the only time I can see a UV filter being useful on an ultrawide.

I will be covering events indoor and outdoor so..i guess will be better for me to have a filter fitted just in case the rain comes..

Are you asking about the I or II 16-35?

One my 16-35 II I use the B+W MRC F-Pro Brass. When i bought the lens I bought BOTH the Slim and non-Slim versions. I noticed no difference between the two, so I returned the slim since it was a pain to deal with due to the crappy lens cap it comes with, and because it was more expensive.

im talking about the mk2 version..cant wait for it to arrive!

For my lenses, which includes the 16-35 II, I tend to lean towards B+W Brass MRC UV F-Pro Filters, across the board. Durability is unbeatable IMO, & they have taken a beating per-say, without receiving either damage to the glass or the filter ring.

I do not notice any vignetting. However, I do notice, that I have less flare, with the Filters' on, than without.

There is no slim version, it is the slim version. $110 shipped from B&H, I think. No vignetting. Front threads.

Huh, so both brass, both same price, im assuming both multi-coated, so what IS the difference? Are the XSPros thinner or something?
