>What's the Best Polarzier for the Nikkor 24-120 lens that >won't vignette? The main concern I had with using any filter on my 24-120 was the tendency of thicker mounting rings to encroach on the image area. With the help of the staff at Pardee's Cameras, I was able to find filters with thin rings - among them the B&W and Hoya brands. The problem with a polarizer, of course, is that the very nature of the filter makes a thin ring difficult, if not impossible to manufacture. As a result, and because I would have needed several sizes of filters (or step up rings), I went back to my old standby, Cokin "P" series filters. The cost of the adapters, holders, hoods, etc., as well as that of the filters themselves, is quite competitive; I can change or stack filters more easily; and If I get another lens with a different size filter thread, I will only have to buy one adapter. Additionally, I have found that six to twelve filters and the mounting accessories are much easier to store than eighteen to thirty-six standard filters. Yet another advantage is that I can adjust the larger Cokin polarizer much easier with my arthritic fingers. For me, it is the most practical solution. It may work for you. I hope this helps.
