HCD 4/28mm lens and Polarizing filter
« on: September 22, 2008, 09:02:57 am »

I recently used a 95mm B+W circular polarizing filter on my HCD 4/28 and experienced considerable vignetting at the corners.  Does anyone know of any standard polarizers that will work correctly on this lens?    I've read about people modifying lens caps to accept wider filters, but would rather find a more conventional solution.

HCD 4/28mm lens and Polarizing filter

Hasselblad's 95mm Circular Polarizing Filter (Item No. 3053490) works with the HC-D 4/28mm without vignetting. It is a considerably thinner filter ring than standard B+W polarizing filters. It is my understanding the B+W 95mm Extra-Wide (EW) Kaesemann Circular Polarizer Filter (Item No. 65-016529) works as well.

Pricing:
- Hasselblad's 95mm Circular Polarizing Filter (Item No. 3053490) - $359.00
- B+W 95mm Extra-Wide Kaesemann Circular-Pol (Item No. 65-016529) - $325.00

I hope this helps.

I bought a hasselblad 95mm UV filter and purchased the Lee push on adapter system.  This allows me to use my routine 105mm polarizer with any variety of ND filters. No vignetting.
