Jim, are you saying in the last sentence that you use a 67 mm.
filter on the 77 mm. diameter DA 14 and don't get vignetting?
(Presumably with a step-up ring.)
Have you tried this at F2.8?
Uh-oh, I spoke from (faulty) memory. I do use the Hoya HMC-Super UV
filter (standard ring depth) on my DA16-45, but (obviously) not on
the DA14 with its 77mm filter size.
I thought that the two lenses used the same filter size; I suspect I
was thinking of my DA14 and DA12-24, which both *do* use the same
77mm Hoya HMC-Super UV filter in the regular length mount without
vignetting.
Thanks for catching this, Joe. Sorry for the mistake, gang - I can
only plead advancing age and failing memory...
