Micro 4/3 CPL for 12-32

[thatnormguy]

Hi Folks - Does anyone use a CPL on their 12-32? If so, do you use step up rings + filter or just filter straightaway on the end of the lens? Thanks in advance!

I use step-up and then call. There is a 37-52 thin step ring I got on Amazon. I standardized on 52 for filters.

Thanks @Walter Palmer! Any vignetting issues?

I used just straight up 37mm filters when I had the 12-32. No problems with those, I don't recall there been vignetting issues even when stacking a C-PL and an ND filter.

Just had to do a quick check since I already had lightroom open. And yup, no vignetting issues even with the lens as wide as it goes and stacking filters. Also checked what I'd used, and it was a Haida Slim polarizer and Marumi DHG ND64.

No. No vignetting issues.

You can buy a Panasonic branded cpl on eBay. I have one and it works fine on my 12-32!
