I do have a B+W Clear UV filter on my canon lens 24-105, do i have to remove that filter to use the neutral Density filter ?

No, you do not,but you will loose an additional F stop and possibly get some vignetiing. Personally I would. remove it.Jim

You don't have to remove it but you might get some vignetting at the wide angles.

UV filter coating imbues a slight color tinge, and reduces the amount of light. Clear is actually preferable. UV filtering is unnecessary with modern lenses.

You can't put a filter or a lens hood onto the lens. It has no threads & it retracts when turned off. The camera has some digital 'filters' built in, but that doesn't protect your lens like a real UV filter for instance that you would leave on.

You can get a filter, but the depth of the lens hood obviates the need for it. I just got back from Australia shooting with the lens in all weather and conditions and did not use a filter. Better images that way as well.Regards,Evan

Get a high quality uv filter and it will protect the front element of your lens and also help filter UV light. You won't notice any degradation in image quality.

Well, if you're shooting indoor "low light" then there isn't much need for an ND filter. Unless you're also using a flash? It's really great for shooting, say, beaches on really bright day and you wanna open up the aperture in order to blur the background without over exposing your picture.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

As everyone else said the ring gets screwed to camera lens. Use UV filter to protect camera lens. Polarizer filter makes sky bluer and cuts glare on water. Florescent filter makes that type of light more natural. The macro filters can be used 1 at a time or 2 or more. Practice with them until you get the look you want. I haven't used the hood yet. Just try all the pieces and see the outcome. Have fun!

It doesn't come with a filter (lens).It's basically a frame to hold a 55mm lens of your choice.Some people use nd (neutral density) filters. I use a circular polarizer.What do you need it for?It's your choice

I'm using this same filter on a Canon 24-105mm lens, and everything is awesome......what negative effect are you talking about??

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

I don't use a UV filter, I use this hood after I take the lens cap off so I don't accidentally touch the lens...

Yes you will see vignetting near the 24mm range and maybe in the 30mm range. If you use the polarizing filter take off the UV filter first. You do not need both on and the more you stack the worse the vignetting will get.

yes. There is no need to remove the UV filter in order to use a rotating ring polarizing filter.

I have a 24-70 L series on my full frame Canon and it works without getting into the shot up to about 28mm and that is without taking off the other filter, which is also a slim-line. Without the second filter, it would probably work all the way to 24. However, if you're using a cropped frame sensor, you shouldn't have any issues. It is about as low profile as it can get and the only other thing I would mention is because it a rotating type of filter, you will get hot spots as you increase the ND effect up near its maximum.

To remove the filter from your lens you have to unscrew it holding the bottom part of the lens, not the top part because the top part adjust only the polarization of the filter. I hope this will help you Rejean

Hi,Seems to match.in some extremely wide angle lenses ultra thin filter is used, as far as I know it is not required for 24 mm.I use it on canon 18-200 (cropped sensor).Thanks.Guy
