No problem as long as no vignetting occur. I also do that. I found it is too troublesome to open UV filter first to put pl-cir. Now I am looking for 77mm cir-pol and some step down rings :think: .The Oracle said:I guess you usually will put on the uv first to protect your lenses. As for the polariser, you can put it on and off. I have no problem with both on at the same time.
mutabor said:I keep UV filter on all the time and when I have to I put CP on, without removing the UV filter...Have I being doing it wrong for all these years?
naresh666 said:ok ok makes sense.
coz i tot i leave the uv filter on to perm protect the lens. htne as and when i need i put in the polarizer.
guess not.
jus to share... and to debunk some myths...ronaldjace said:the two filters will NOT work with each other. either use just a ND filter if u need to have a few stop of LIGHT less (or reducing shutter speed). UV and ND will work NOT on each other too. the polarizer is a "2 stop reducing ND filter".
You can be my ND filter PRO liao :thumbsup: :lovegrin:ronaldjace said:the two filters will NOT work with each other. either use just a ND filter if u need to have a few stop of LIGHT less (or reducing shutter speed).

Your vast knowledge on filters and using them amazes me to no end... can you be my shi-fu anot? :thumbsup:
+evenstar said:yes possible to stack both together unless u're on full frame. image degration is negligible unless u're printing posters or using some low grade lens
Yes. It is actually reducing between 1.5-2stops, depending on filter brand. Maybe should do the test to make it sure? Or just read the manual come with the polarizer.markccm said:no issue if u use a Nikon slim cir-polII with a L37c.
cannot say the same for other cir-pol with thicker rings though.
btw, cir-pol reduces 2 stops of light meh?
think it's less right?
yours is nikon slim filter...not the normal thick thick one...:sticktongespn said:Myth.
Even on 35mm format (solly, but me newbie don't know what is full frame), it's still possible to stack 2 filters together.
I've used a Nikon L37C 77mm with a Nikon CIR-PLII on a F80 body and it works ok.
