DA 10-17mm Fisheye: filter possible

[blende8]

Perhaps this is already known, but just in case:

You can screw in standard 58mm filters into the hood of the DA10-17 fisheye.
I have tested this with a 58mm polfilter and it works.
The lens shows no vignetting from 14-17mm.
Vignetting depends on the barrel extension of the filter.

I would imagine you'd also need t be careful how far you screw the filter in. The front element extends pretty far out at the centre relative to the circumference of the element.

I'm not sure how much advantage there would be to adding a filter though, unless you have a specific need i suppose.

the only need I can think of is protection.

Also, polarizing a 10mm lens is bound to get uneven polarization across the image, right? Wouldn't some parts of the sky appear more dark than others?

Polarizers isn't just for the sky though =) thanks for the clarification!
